We only accept change after its happened.We live amongst each other,keeping our space while still acknowledging we share the same air whether we like it or not.The less we knew, the less we continued to care.We cared until we moved on to other things. It happened gradually over a year or two.The obsessions we hadContinue reading “These Lonesome Lines Were Lying Around”

Ring of Fire in Winter

Capturing A Feeling In Time
Time moved slow today,like it did when I was a child.It’s a beautiful thingto regain a part of meI thought was lost in my childhood,succumbed to timeand disassociating aging.Alas I have garnered it,made it my own,welcomed it whole.Sometimes it’s best tofeel the slowness of timehow the day moves at the paceyou choose to be presentwithContinue reading “Capturing A Feeling In Time”
Christmas Lights Chilly Nights
Christmas lightsChilly nightsLong winded conversations Through telephone callsTrying to make senseOf the complexities Human nature has to offerHow the mind copes In mysterious waysI remain grateful For twinkling lightsContrasting a pale pink skyAnd a beautiful moonBringing me back toThe present when I lose sight
Message From the Sea
Look out when you get the chanceUntil you can’t see me past the horizonOn sunny days in quiet seasonsI sit in my car by the sidewalkGlancing towards the infinite directionWaiting for time to passComing back to myselfLosing another moment to old habitsEach day is differentSome lessons have to be continually learnedMeeting myself with love, notContinue reading “Message From the Sea”

Mundane Details
In our busy lives, we take things for granted.Mundane details fall through the cracks as we’re too focused on getting through.The day, week, month, year.Time blurs together and gets mixed in memories.It takes gravity shifts to come back down to earth.Losing someone, losing something, reminders of how precious today is.How everything could be gone tomorrow.ToContinue reading “Mundane Details”
Speedometer
The day before I got sick, I went for a walk.A jaunt, some might say.I wanted to see the autumn leaves,while basking in the summer heat.How is it October? I thought while walking.I looked up and admired the colors,odd how time passes at different speedsdepending on the time of yearand where your mind is at.
Bookends of a Day
There’s nothing like a front row seat to the beginning and the end of a day.Pale colors brighten in the morning and fade in the night.In the morning, I take a photo of the day beginning, the way the light changes the shade of blue of the water.In the evening, I try to be presentContinue reading “Bookends of a Day”
