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”

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”
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”
Christmas Wish
Outside the window, the world is covered in ice But inside, there is a warm, inviting glow A tree that sparkles while the winter storm swirls The coziness of home to contrast the falling snow. An aroma of baked goodies drift through the rooms A clutter of old decorations strewn up from years past MeagerContinue reading “Christmas Wish”
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)”
Symphony Falling
The sky is falling like a symphony I can whisper my words into the rain– The ones I have told no one Tumbling out like a soft lament, Grieving the things I could never say Feelings so close but never quite conveyed For fear of losing, for fear of receiving, Held back only by myContinue reading “Symphony Falling”
Sailing
The summer is slowly turning into the golden days before autumn Longer days shorten like quicksand, and I have missed them all Absorbed in the rush of demands and the tide of expectations Waiting for the unrest to finally rest; for the paper walls to fall. So much time sifted through the hourglass of aContinue reading “Sailing”
Starburst
Tune me in to the underlying source Plant me beneath that burst of sunlight Take me from the shadows of uncertainty Into the sweet relief of unquestionable right. Pull me away from the fear of failure Always clinging to my timid, doubtful mind Show me what it means for me to be enough Replace myContinue reading “Starburst”
When Love Finds its Way In
When loves finds its way in, it never leaves me My heart is protected by barbed wire and steel A walled-up structure surrounded by neon signs “Keep out,” “No service,” “Private property,” “No trespassing,” And yet, you found a way through, gently and true. I trust in the power of warmth that melts away defensesContinue reading “When Love Finds its Way In”
Not Until My Last Breath
Some would fester in bitterness, And dear soul, in a different era I would, But not now, not now. Now I am grateful for each solitary healing burst Every breath of relief, every heartfelt beat Whatever the outcome around the bend, It is not a waste on my road of life. Some would grow theirContinue reading “Not Until My Last Breath”
