The early summer hoursbring back childhood patterns.Following the morning moon acrossthe sky as I travel from road toroad, I smile and count the craters.In my contentment, I embrace thisstate of peace fully. Right now,it’s just me, my thoughts, my music,and the moon. Real life doesn’t existoutside this existence, not right nowanyway.

Loops
I call them loops.They loop around my braincausing me to question.When things are badI push through, when thingsare good, I delusionally thinkthey can always be this way,that my emotions aren’t severelyimpacted if I know this levelof calm. It’s a lie I fall myself,every single time and without fail,I am reminded of the power my bodypossesses,Continue reading “Loops”
