Month 12
On the 1st of December,I walked by the seaand came home sweatingunder my coat.Tonight, as I writethis poem, rain poursoutside. Its poundingon my window. I’m cozyunder my blankets withthe heating pad onmy back and fuzzy sockswarming my toes.It’s been a week filledwith both good and bad,feeling really thankfulheading into the lastmonth of this life-changing year.
by the sea
I hear the wind before it hits me, after a day of rain it comes in strong shaking the building I am in. I sigh as I lookout the window through the darkness, I sense it’s whispers, years of secrets I could never crack. Not my story to share.

I looked up at the stars and felt small. Life gets put into perspective when looking out to the unknown. The autumn breeze blew against my skin. I felt cozy underneath my blanket. I gazed up at the universe searching for satellites and shooting stars but only found planes in a sea of constellations andContinue reading “star gazing”
happiness is
walking on the beach maneuvering as the waves hit the sand the fallen leaves on the grass all colorful in their glory dancing to my favorite songs when everyone is sleeping singing along to songs I loved as a kid in the car long road trips to my favorite place gray days where it’s warmContinue reading “happiness is”
Afternoon Walk
Autumn leaves in-between telephone poles guide me down the road as I go passed places I have always known this place has always felt like home
