Be your loud, beautiful self.Don’t allow those who Don’t understand youTo the silence the singingIn your soul.

Eight Days Without Sun
When the sun disappearsbehind a long flowof stratus clouds, winter returns.The fireplace brings us heat on cold nightsin late May.Snow falls twicein two days,blanketing the green grass and melting against the roads remaining warm, contrastingthe winter airlingering in spring.
The Purple Tulip
The purple tulip arrived a week agoand will not leave. I glare at it througha mirror reflection, trying to comprehendhow it might have appeared at this timeeight days ago. No one warned meI would receive a tulip. Everyone I ask doesn’t seem to have an answer on where it came from or why it’s here.TheContinue reading “The Purple Tulip”
The Beauty of Spring
RebirthThe earth is alive again,the smells of recently bloomed flowers linger thru the afternoon air.It will fade by summer,but at this moment, they’re wild. ReminderLife never sits still,it’s constantly moving, whether you like it or not.It’s our jobs as humans are to evolve with the times.Move forward instead of back,focusing on the past will onlyContinue reading “The Beauty of Spring”
Before I Say Hello
Before I say hello,I acknowledgeto myselfwhat will happen. I will stutter. Sometime throughout the string of words that will flowout of my mouth, there will be a bump.It’s inevitable. This is okay. A bump or two of threewon’t kill my flow. A big bump that causes me to use a trick won’t stop me from speaking. What’s important is that I share my thoughts. I speak formy voice,my voicedoes not speak for me.I continueContinue reading “Before I Say Hello”

A Poem About Nothing
Spring has arrived along with the remnants of winter.Snow one day, seventy degrees the next.You never know what you’re going to get.The grass is greener as bees flyand house cats beg to come back inside.Days are longer, thoughts are shorter.Everything looks different upon reflection.Awareness changes thoughts and perspective,for once I can look at my interactionsContinue reading “A Poem About Nothing”
Right Before It Starts
I’m in a familiar place in uncharted waters People are arriving but I don’t know why. I park the car I’m driving and look to see if I’m in the space. Moments later as I walk away, more cars appear, filling the empty spaces around me. I walk into a room backstage, someplace I doContinue reading “Right Before It Starts”

Hello Stranger
I wake up in the morning and do not feel like myself. My body aches in unfamiliar ways. The joints in my hands crack, my right thumb somehow feels unnerved. The muscles in my back and neck haven’t been the same since experiencing multiple panic attacks. I look in the mirror and do not recognizeContinue reading “Hello Stranger”
