Sun and Snow

Crystal blankets heavyCold cover winter’s bonesBoth the dead and sleepingThe living and the stone Powder sharply shimmersSleeves trees with crooked armsClothing naked natureConcealing manmade harm Ash and boneHidden priceScourge of fireShroud of ice Cloud did layer deeplyThe filth of land belowBeneath the purest veilOf leaden ice and snow And where horizon meetsThe mirror glaze of… Continue reading

Moonlit Mending

Curving needle shines on highRises with the fall of nightPulls on bloodflow like the tideBinding lifeforce far and wide Spooling frozen breaths that riseAtmospheric thread through eyePlanet rolls the ends to tieHoles to make to mend torn time Piercing through burnt velvet sky Astral medic sutures whereTime left wounds both broad and bareEdges spread by… Continue reading

Sanctuary

Push to start, stall raging heartPrayer of safetyGet in gear, sleeve up the tearsDrive to escape me Move to drown, in blaring soundThoughts that would break meOne more trip, white knuckle gripNight roads erase me From heavy homeStrike out aloneIn sanctuary Find the dark, drive fast and farPrayer now screamingBack the din, four-minute hymnsBeg intervening… Continue reading

Blog: T’is the Season

It’s been a bit since I wrote last – anything at all, even to myself. People often refer to losing momentum as a function of the holiday season, everything being so ‘busy.’ The adjective I might use instead is ‘loud.’ Every man-made object in and out of the home has a screen that is shouting… Continue reading

Hold Music

The space betweenBefore and afterThe distant laughter The hate unseenThe past in tattersSwings from the rafters The intersticeBetween the timelinesAnd different skylines The smoke-made screenTaken for grantedEach memory slanted Hold hope and painIn either handHonor them bothTo understand The limbo longHallway extendedFrom where home ended The right and wrongForever blendedIn air suspended The fading songIts… 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

Become

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
