MONUMENT

Is it? So hard to believe Your voice Sounds like a song Floating on notes I never want to end Is it? So hard to believe I watch the sun set So I can see you Painting the night With racing comets And faraway stars Is it? So hard to believe That your breath Stills…

HARD TO IMAGINE

It’s a bit hard for me to believe I have been doing this for three years.  This blog is just a glimpse of who I am, where I have been, and what I am becoming.  Thank you to all of you who have stuck with me over the years, encouraged me, and friended me.

ANCHOR ME

If we are lucky we find someone who can not only weather our storm but helps us survive them There is an impending storm Bitten lips bleed from refrain Sighs escape building a form Rigid hips can barely maintain Please don’t let me blow away Inside old historical nonsense Anchor me inside your sway Be…

MATCHING HEARTS

She not only has a world winning smile, a voice that purrs, or eyes that brighten the darkest of days but it’s her heart I embrace. It’s the way her heart shows all over her face and in the way her tears beckon you to look for her when she is stuck inside the battles…

AM I THE BULLY, HERE?

I am going to be a bit vulnerable today before I introduce today’s guest.  Her post inspired me to do some of own internal reflecting. I am just now getting back into the swing of working out again.  I could work out at home, and do on occasion, but I hate it.  There is really…
