Crumpled Poetry

Oh, but I am so very much more than a collection of pretty words. I’m tear stained and crumpled poetry; stirring, profound, rubbish, absurd. I’m tranquil shades of arcadian blue, a hawk soaring over wide open skies; demure and charcoal grey backdrops, and storms raging from swollen eyes. I am the stench of decayed, rotting […]

It’s Okay to be Both

It’s okay if one day you step out the door like a lioness and the next day you feel like you’re still just a cub. At times you’ll be all dreams and daring, magic, manifesting, and miracles; but there may also be others when you’re weary, wary, conflicted, constricted, or confused. And that’s okay. It’s […]

Never Alone

You are never alone. When you’re wandering out in the cold, I’ll be the blanket of snow that keeps you warm. And when you’re lost in the dark I’ll be the voice that reminds you to look to the stars. When the noise rises to an uncomfortable pitch, I’ll be the wind that shakes the […]

Natural Blooming

It happened in an instant – too short to be measured, too profound to be imagined. In a single moment – too sudden, too prodigious, too spontaneous to be anything but fate – I saw it all. In the blink of an eye I replayed every bit of it. Every time that I’d betrayed myself. […]

I’ll Stitch You a Moon

I’ll pluck these scraps of light from between branches and leaves and slices of night. I’ll hold the honeyed glow from street lamps, catch every shooting star; and use them to stitch you a moon. I’ll collect each raindrop and remember each tear. I’ll ebb and flow, I’ll drift with the river, until you can […]

Get Up

There are many things I’ve learned over the past couple of years, some big and some small – but one of the more precious little gems that I’ve picked up is that life moves on whether you’re ready to or not; and that you might as well just move on with it because, if you […]

A Kind of Healing Magic

Kindness, too, can be a kind of healing magic. Kindness too can break through barriers, dismantle weapons, tear down walls. Sometimes a sincere encouragement or altruistic favor can bring far deeper and wider spread awareness than even the most well-intentioned criticism or authentic observation. Sometimes a small act of kindness can transform the darkness that […]
