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)”

Three Paths
There are three paths ahead of us Not one of them right, not one of them wrong Each leading us to the same destination Whether arriving swiftly or prolonged. The first leads to an ocean of deepest emotion Where we swim to rhythm of our heart’s symphony Eyes closed as we are guided by ourContinue reading “Three Paths”
At the Door of the New Year
This door used to be a mirage Floating mockingly out on a hazy horizon Universes out of reach, But I fought my way out of the stagnancy Escaped the impossible chains Vulnerable and rattled but still standing Setting aside my armor for rejuvination. Years have blended into chapters Walls have broken down into debris TearsContinue reading “At the Door of the New Year”
Trying
I am trying, oh I am trying, To hold both the bitter and the sweet Familiarizing my heart to nostalgic pulls Learning to honor my instinct to retreat. I am accepting with an open heart, Truths that are clear and those yet untold Bending softly to a future still foggy ahead Trusting more in whatContinue reading “Trying”
Seasonal Synchronicities

Help Me Figure This Phenomenon Out
My friends, I’m taking a brief pause from my usual poetry-ish writing to ask for some help solving a mystery, if you feel so inclined to chime in. I would not be posting this if it weren’t sending my brain into mental gymnastics. Every day, and by that I mean every. single. day. for theContinue reading “Help Me Figure This Phenomenon Out”
Softly Listening
The snow is falling softly now Leaving us in a quiet, peaceful world Where the noise so often overpowering Becomes more subdued, background music And we listen with attuned hearts To the fundamental melodies of our souls. Sometimes the most meaningful music Is found in the notes softly playing on repeat Within our veins, ourContinue reading “Softly Listening”
Rare Souls
Once in a great while, as we unassumingly pave our way through life, We come across those rare, kindred souls Who become for us mile markers on an otherwise uncharted road. Opening up access to our most tender feelings, these gentle ones Heal us from the inside out simply by accepting us exactly as weContinue reading “Rare Souls”
Take Us Through this Never-Ending Night
Look, dear soul. The sun is peaking through the clouds, ever so slightly Streaming down like gold from angry storm clouds Onto our sun-deprived faces. Perhaps this glimpse of welcomed relief is only temporary Fleeting as so many vital resources are in these troubling times, But what should we care if the sun shines forContinue reading “Take Us Through this Never-Ending Night”
