Quicksand
The more I fight The deeper I fall It’s hard to be idled for too long No need to escape When I dug this hole. It’s like the more I climb out I keep adding below. So, what to do when the cycle repeats Each step I take, Feels like it’s turned against me. But […]

Hidden Treasure
The depths of your mind buried beneath the sea You hidden all treasure No one else can see, No map can find it, No clues to be found, Whatever you think you lost It cannot be found. So, keep searching Restless you’ll become The closer you think you are The further you become.

Lighthouse
You’ve always been my lighthouse When I couldn’t see Shinning bright in the darkest sea Signaling to safer waters when the tides are extreme Filing in the light where the moon cannot reach. So, to safer tides I go No longer stranded on a desolate boat Sailing to more bountiful lands Before these waves come […]

Glow
I’ve traveled far to find you A sacred vessel you’ve become Holding you like a candle A light I never want to cease. You burn me at both ends It glows pains me more For as long as it took me to get here I need to let you go.

Persist

Spider’s nest
They bleed you dry The webs they spin you can’t untie Squeezing you until there is nothing left Take one last look at this spider’s nest.

Rising Sun
The darkness cannot stay for longFor when the sun returns it no longer belongsShadows are now replaced with lightStreet lamps turn off as the moon hidesThe rising sun begins a new dayAll the darkness fades awayFeelings of blessing come our wayGreeting us as we rise up today.

Camera
I am a cameraI am solid, weightedWith smooth and ruff edges. I am uninspired and neglected.I would like to be photographing all the beautiful scenes. I am connected at the soul.I dream of traveling to exotic locationsCapturing every new memory and place.I worry about not slowing down. I like for others to be inspired by […]

Dear younger self
Dear younger self I have been dying to tell you… Your seat may feel emptyYou lived your life in a boxYou feel at times small as a peanutGreen trees make you feel calmYou hate the sound of an alarm clockYour mind is full of cottonYour life feels like a video game.Your lips are the envelope […]
