Blog: Sail by the Stars, Part Deux

The narrative continues – this covers the next two nights, continuing to break up the content to a reasonable length. The next place that I stayed was a well-preserved 1950s cabin overlooking a broad lake. It reminded me heavily of my grandparents’ house from when I was young, which was sold in the mid 2000s.

Blog: Sail by the Stars

Anchors are aweigh again, and the journey continues on the pivot. The car re-tetrised, I have returned to the road, determined to find where I can call home for some true comfort, at least for a time, as the last slip figuratively crumbled. If the past 2.5ish months have taught me anything at all – Continue reading

Fall to Fly

Birdsong branches burdenedBend but never breakFearless fliers focusedOn the air to take Sharp eyes staying steadyNo thoughts fear a fallWeathered wings wait ready Horizon the call Leap and liveWatch the skyTime will changeFall to fly Birdsong breaking morningBreeze cradles the soundSoundwaves splaying silenceReach ears on the ground My eyes peering skywardAttuned to the voiceThat would Continue reading

In Golden Hour

Unspoken pain rolled dense like the snowDrifts deep and wide that line streets we knowWhen it’s too painful to even thinkInto the couch and phones we all sink Anchors of false famil’yar stillnessWeighted by the lead of doubt’s illnessSit and sink and dream of futures lostPain compels stagnation at all cost Until sinking burnsIn golden Continue reading

Blog: Averting Capsize

I wrote this blog using voice-to-text two nights ago and have edited it and added to it for clarity. I’ve always liked thunderstorms since I’ve been old enough to no longer be afraid of their power but instead enthralled by their majesty. Nonetheless, I get chronic migraines from pressure changes and from stress, particularly when Continue reading

Grave Reminders

Fallen feathers whiteNestle in the greenOf grass by rain renewedFallen from sure wings That soar above the cloudThat float atop the graveOf rippled waters darkThe surface of the lake The song they make is drownedBy lapping at the shoresConcealed by waves that whisperPrayers of wanting more Jeweled dragonflies can hoverOn the winds that push my Continue reading

Dim skies meet grey eyes And lashes dance for rain Downpour once more Pooling puddled painOvercome with grief restrainedCloud breaks no escapeAnd mem’ries soak the droughtCoiled back sobs crackLetting it all outOvercome with loss and doubtTruth loud must ring proudAnd silence won’t resistOld songs play onThrobbing sounds that shiftOvercome with memory’s blissLight finds new timelineAnd Continue reading

Blog: Sails as Projector Screens

Sequencing the vignettes of this time in my life is challenging, as there seems to be little coherent narrative. There are extraordinary scenes, short and vivid, that even when put chronologically tell no story. They’ll paint a landscape, or a collage of moments, gathered in the interstice between life phases. There seems to be little Continue reading
