  • Wild Rose

    Wild roses bloom free  Bloom lush and vibrant.  Careful  To not touch the young. 

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks  Like I was drowning in worry  Nothing I could do was right  Nothing I said was helpful  Nothing I did was useful.  Days sometimes raced by  While sometimes they dragged  I could never decide which felt better  Until the day I started feeling better  The day I…

  • Welcome

    The welcome sign greeted me.  Confused me.  Haunted me.  Affected me.  I was not wanted.  Not cheered.  Not helped.  I was alive.  I will live.  I will survive.  I will rise. 

  • Life

    I knew about the ups and downs  I expected them  What I wasn’t prepared for  Was you.  I didn’t know I was waiting for you  Until I saw you.  Your smile Your eyes  The way you made me feel  Made everyone feel  Now you’re gone  And I am over. 

  • Singing Stones

    The singing stones greeted me like an old friend  I looked for them every day  As I knew they looked for me  Their steadiness soothed me  Helped me  Calmed me  Every time I heard the   Singing stones  I was fortified  My strength returned  My eyes opened  I was home 

  • Shining

    The water was calling my name.  Brilliant, vast and scary  It called and I screamed  Water knew my name, but  I just wanted to forget  our relationship.  Forget we ever met.  But I was blinded  By ambition  By mercy  By fear. 

  • Schoolhouse

    Thousands of little words  Open to me as I sit  In silence, enraptured  By the beauty of my spirit  The expanse of my learning  The places I can go  Just by learning the words  How they go together  Rest together  Adventure awaits  Full of hope and resilience 

  • Flowers

    I watched the flowers bloom   right before my eyes.  I was green with envy  but not as beautiful as their stems.  I wanted to love them.  Their beauty enraged me  just as it betrayed my heart.  I wanted you to love me  just as much as you loved them. 

  • Courage

    He always told me courage  Was the best trait to have  Courage to go   Courage to try  Courage to start over  I never understood why he left  Why he backed out  Why he got so scared  Maybe it was courage  To say he was scared  Maybe it took courage  To leave.  He took his courage …

  • Clouds

    They floated above me  Finding peace in the wind  That I longed to feel  They moved at their own pace  While I ran with others  I longed for their freedom  Their compassion  Their release.
