Laughter fills the night As I say goodbye to my twenties Stars barely visible behind the clouds Should have been raining by now And yet it was nice enough to have a fire Then stand out on the dock Reflecting on the day we had The weather stayed nice for longer Than the weatherman saidContinue reading “Late August”

Ode To My Twenties
A wise woman once told me It doesn’t matter how old you are All that matters is how you feel. I have been reading my old journals lately. I am not who I used to be But the memories remain on The surface of my being. I had a lot of strong feelings. I loveContinue reading “Ode To My Twenties”
Summer Bliss
I soak up the sun on a Saturday morning getting lost in my book as cars continue to make noise as they drive by, I tune out the loud sounds of the street. After several attempts due to my lack of reading interest, I finally found a spot where I can sit back and read,Continue reading “Summer Bliss”

happy place
For two days, I disconnect from my reality. Time moves slowly. I trace the sun across the cloudless sky, rising up on one side of the horizon then falling below the other. I read my book, write poems in my journal, and only grab my phone to capture this beautiful view. For the first timeContinue reading “happy place”
