  • He never told me

    He never told me your name  But he flaunted you  in front of my friends.  He waited too long to tell me  then acted like it was okay.  That I was okay.  Like it was normal to see  both of us at the same time  Want to split dinner?  Split drinks?  My heart refused to…

  • Strangers

    She told me to   never talk to strangers.  Nothing good would come of it.  Only fear  or loathing.  Maybe a little bit of stalking.  But I couldn’t help myself.  I can’t not talk  to someone.  My mouth opens, then shuts.  I almost don’t know what  to say.  His eyes were too  Beautiful. 

  • Moon

    The bright moon shines down  Leading me away from life  Showing me the way.  I never knew how far  My life could lead me astray  Until the moon sank.  My life was over  As I knew it.  Then you came  Back and it started. 

  • 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
