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”

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”
To Be Enchanted
This is the newest release by Sleeping at Last. If you’ve been following my blog for a time, you know this is my favorite musical artist. I think we need reminders sometimes that as painful as life can be, as downtrodden as we feel, in the dark hours before we actually begin feel again, hopeContinue reading “To Be Enchanted”
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”
Three Words
There are 100 ways to say “I love you,” I said each one of them to you Except for those three words Never knowing if they would heal Or if they would ultimately harm. Funny how we say anything But what we truly want to say, Because there are certain words That are etched inContinue reading “Three Words”
Drawn Back
I am always glancing behind Like an impulse, like a safety check. Do I have the strength to keep moving? Am I prepared to let go? Making sure my intuition reinforces What my mindless autopilot already knows, That whenever I attempt to lunge forward I am consistently propelled back As if flung by an invisibleContinue reading “Drawn Back”
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”
