There is a relationship I have fostered with wildflowers, there in a field, all along the banks of my river… we have been seen lying languidly for hours. And I have never seen a sunrise that didn’t steal my breath, or leave me a peacefulness that stayed within my breast. I have never met a canyon rimContinue reading “Darling Damned….”

What I Know
Boundaries don’t keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that’s how we’re made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. Here’s what I know. If you’re willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the otherContinue reading “What I Know”
Sweet Release
In the eye of a child you can see a snowflake for the first time, and in the eye of my grandfather I saw one for the last time. One time… that is all it takes… to understand the delicacy of our very being. The way the wind carries us from one place to theContinue reading “Sweet Release”
Wayward Traveller
We used to do this thing with our hands… a sorta kinda dance in darkness… where our fingers would trace, interlope and lace…. We used to kind of laugh even at the sound of our own silly voices… we challenged each other, and inspired better choices… Your hands reach for things unseen in a placeContinue reading “Wayward Traveller”
Midnight In The Garden Of…
Before the dawn breaks the sky and interrupts this perfect night… know this, I had fun. I laughed at you, and with you, and a lot at myself because I am so ridiculous. When daylight comes, I will move from this spot, and find another… and I will remember how I felt last night, andContinue reading “Midnight In The Garden Of…”
The Things Between…
The hours that tick so slowly past us, The way the rain pelts away on my window pane, The way you curl up beside me seeking comfort The time you said something so surprising I laughed out loud at you… The way my hands found their way into yours… How we can’t connect, how weContinue reading “The Things Between…”
Speak Not, Hear Not, See Not
So as not to be seen, I stepped so slowly, with such purpose. So as not to be heard, I held my breath, and let my fingers stretch forward So as not to disturb you I have silenced my Siren Call. Making port in one particular harbor, nearby. So to keep moving I have pulledContinue reading “Speak Not, Hear Not, See Not”
A letter to my son…
I remember the day you were born. I held you in my arms and marveled at how I could ever have made something this perfect. And every single day since then I have been in awe of you. You occupy physical space here on earth, but you are far from earthly, my son. I usedContinue reading “A letter to my son…”
BitterRoot
My feet don’t land on the ground…. Words you’ve said to me, the only sound. I hold a peice of it in my hand… The memory runs through me like sugar, like sand… And in the cold cellar… I see it in her eyes, and I remember… We laughed together then, so easily. Drank togetherContinue reading “BitterRoot”
Apathy’s History
In the quiet of the evening, balance is restored- An ancient wound is bound cured. We look op on ourselves like this- It’s an ethereal place… A time of volition, It’s a smooth transition from one to the other and then again- We know not from whence we come! Like Gypsies we gather round theContinue reading “Apathy’s History”
