Away from Here
away from the corners that remind me of where I have already been, I almost feel like I could fly, unafraid, for the first time in a long while, setting free a woman who whispers still the dreams of a young girl, forgotten, often, and trapped, mostly in the very crevices of who I thought I should...

Blue Ocean
Touching your grace, your elegance, your random perfection, I feel your control take hold of me and shiver me with delight as I reach to understand things I can't explain. You are so much bigger than I, eternal, ageless, consistent. So brilliant is your power that I feel I should fear even a whisper...

This is What I Would Tell You
(to my boys) Read a lot, dream as often as you want, believe in the moments that define you, speak from the heart, give what you can, laugh when it hurts, cry when you’re happy, love without the promise of something back, and live as if I am always with you.

Words
take me away; sometimes far away to places I'm destined to go. Where pain is released and joy is safe. It is quiet there, soft and tender, protected from the sounds of my life, and a break from the delusions of my world. They take me away so that I can reach them, put them in their place and speak...

The Community
Who are you on the other side of the comment? are you a mother a father a college student? Who are you in your silent room just as I, escaping to a place that few in your life could understand (if you even dare tell them)? Who are you out there reading me while I read you? Could you be a friend?

Broken
Alone again you leave me as you come and go freely, breaking me with your exits punishing me with each return. I am not your failure your misfortune your mistake. I wasn’t broken, why did you try to fix me?

Look at you!
How many years has it been? I’ve thought of you so many times, but never thought I’d see you again. Yet here you are, my dear friend, reminding me of who I am. Your smile is a sight for sore eyes. Your presence warms my heart and comforts my silent, dejected cries. Don’t leave me again to face this...
