In our growth, there is an unleashing Unexpected, from the depths of our personal vaults A release of emotions stored beneath years of forbearance Only accessible when we are truly heard and seen. We may have endured the unthinkable And still maintained an air of quiet composure Knowing that to speak of our layers ofContinue reading “The Unleashing”

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”
Fly With Me
Fly with me into the embrace of the sky, Let us escape the heaviness of mundane living Watching the world fade into pinpoints below us Ascending to heights far above society’s glare. Let me take your hand in mine, And while we are floating through cloud-streaked skies Let us listen softly to the inner pullContinue reading “Fly With Me”
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”
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”
Lost & Found
Lost is where we we eventually find ourselves Not from our external, but from our internal compass When the noise of opinion and expectation silences And the distraction of responsibilities no longer pulls, Is when we begin to listen to what we need, what we know Discovering the inner map leading to our breakthroughs. LostContinue reading “Lost & Found”
Last Poem (For a Time)
Looking back, I do not know how I kept breathing But from the grace of kind hands that held me up I had lost all reasons to invest in believing Except for the faith of those who saw what I could not see. Dear soul, this is the full circle, my moment of gratitude WhenContinue reading “Last Poem (For a Time)”
Unspooked
The cold is settling in, but I am not afraid Frost and swirling snow may attempt to spook this heart But my feet are locked into the frozen ground, I may startle, I may flinch, but I am not going anywhere. The bitterness of this lingering chill cannot shake me Now that I understand myContinue reading “Unspooked”
Numb
Numb senses nothing and everything at once An acknowledgement of emotional flooding When the brain unconsciously shuts down To help us survive through the unbearable. In our emptiness, we make room for illumination Tending to our wounds before the truth sets in Yearning for the ability to feel the missing pieces While accepting the reliefContinue reading “Numb”
The Road that Bends
At the crossroads, we pause. Not because we cannot see the way forward (We were never blind to what lies ahead), But because once we step around the bend, There is no way to wistfully peer over our shoulders For that fleeting trace of what could have been. Oh, dear soul, there is pain inContinue reading “The Road that Bends”
