Peace is what is left on my last page. For there is no space left in me for anything else, No other intention than an offering of kindness, Knowing and understanding the human condition Aware of the rise and fall of chapters in our lives, Thankful, ever thankful, for the chance to be at all.Continue reading “Last Page”

Wave After Wave
Another song that spoke directly to my experience. This cut deep and healed at the same time. Keep moving through the waves, dear soul.
Pieces
There are pieces of my being That I will never be able to retrieve again. Lost in the aftermath of grief and despair Scattered across an empty, abandoned trail Glowing for the last time, like embers in the dark With one final flicker before their light runs out. I would give anything to gather upContinue reading “Pieces”
Music Renewed
For so long, there was no music left in me, A score without the rise and fall of notes Playing a melody of weighted silence In a dusty theater devoid of audience. Now I hear it, the faintest hint of music, Like a breeze barely grazing the treetops Inviting me, pulling me toward life again.Continue reading “Music Renewed”
I Will Move Through
I will move through the stagnant days When it feels as if I am wandering without destination Searching aimlessly for the next landmark Exhausted, aching, but determined. I will walk through the dark night of self-reflection Even when the moon is hiding its familiar face in the sky And I feel the reawakening of theContinue reading “I Will Move Through”
Reminiscing
I am nothing but thankful For your accompaniment along the miles When my feet could not longer find footing And my shoulders stooped beneath the weight Of a thousand perceived failures and mistakes When I could no longer take another step I must have unconsciously sent out a divine flare Because then you arrived, thenContinue reading “Reminiscing”
Stardust
Only recently have I discovered That I am made of stardust too, Not just a haphazard concoction Of leftover, dusty ingredients Waiting to be selected on an abandoned shelf, But a unique, good-hearted human being Deserving and beloved as we all are Instead of an anomaly on the outskirts Looking in but never worthy ofContinue reading “Stardust”
Underwater
It feels like floating underwater Muffled noise, carried by the current Heaviness pulling downward like an anchor While the hollowness keeps us afloat Feeling nothing and everything at once And only occasionally coming up for air. It’s those gasping breaths of oxygen that sting Reminders that there is still life left to live That weContinue reading “Underwater”
The Reality of the Stars
There are moments when we are transfixed Pulled into a memory as if stolen from the present The way we feel when we gaze up at an evening star Mesmerized, awed, momentarily hopeful, and then… Fettered back down to the heaviness of the present Where the air is weighted, where life has broken our spiritsContinue reading “The Reality of the Stars”
The In-Between
In the reflection of light off of the fallen snow In the spaces between the stars that glimmer in the dark In-between breaths, in the pause before an exhale Is where I seek for deeper, underlying meaning. In each sunset sigh of both awe and despair When I feel both inspired and terrified by myContinue reading “The In-Between”
