Eyes Open, Eyes closed. As I walk through this life. My heart, a vast trove that spills like the oceans upon a rocky beach. Bubbly waters finding there way into every orifice of the earth that it touches. When I love, When I give my love, I give it completely. I love with a fiercenessContinue reading “Eyes Open, Eyes Closed”

She Forged Power From the Dark
She could feel the world around her pressing in. Like a vise slowly adding pressure to her chest. Breathing became difficult. Thoughts became clouded. The anxiety was crushing. A little voice came from her shadows “face me”. So she stood tall, a warrior, a goddess, a woman on a journey to heal herself. She stoodContinue reading “She Forged Power From the Dark”
Lessons From the Dirt
Her roots wind and twist, Through the dark rich soil. Her branches reach into the wide unknown, Like roots planted in the sky. Can I be rooted, And still, have wings? I now know how caged birds feel. Wanting so badly to unfold into the heavens, To feel the breeze lift and sway their existenceContinue reading “Lessons From the Dirt”
Empty Explanations
I wish I could explain how much anger and frustration hurts me, How it breaks me down into some hollow shell of a being, How it turns my heart black. I wish I could explain the way my heart breaks when my children don’t want me around, Or my very presence seems to annoy them.Continue reading “Empty Explanations”
I Am Lake Natron
I am being swallowed, consumed, by a blackness that I cannot escape. I feel it hanging heavily from every limb and organ of my body. I am like the Lake Natron, A beautifully deadly water, I will turn you into a calcified corpse. Maybe I myself am just that. Where Medusas stare once held me,Continue reading “I Am Lake Natron”
Victory in The Small Things
My mind is tired, body sore. My cat’s purr rumbles like mini earthquakes through my flesh. Almost ready, to stretch my body and put my mind at ease. Flowing Flowing Flowing Breathing Breathing Breathing I meditate on the movements of my sore tired body. These small moments, Where I push through. Push even though I’mContinue reading “Victory in The Small Things”
Breathing Life
Life is the sun on my face through a passing window, A hot cup of tea on an icy cold day, Breath in my lungs, Love in my heart. I feel the glitter of goosebumps on my skin. Every breath deeper and deeper, My stress melts away. And the heaviness falls, Like the avalanche ofContinue reading “Breathing Life”
My True Freedom
I saw a hawk soaring and gliding the pastel blue sky. The clouds like pillows waiting for when he decided to rest his wings. My heart wanted to fly out of my chest and soar the heavens alongside him; a spirit on the winds, unbridled and free. Maybe it’s that I have a traveler’s spirit,Continue reading “My True Freedom”
Me
How could one possibly explain who they are in a few sentences? The true essence of who I am is not seen by the mere reading of a few words or the glance of a picture. The Internet is both wonderful and torturing. It teases us, showing us people we can connect with, but onlyContinue reading “Me”
Little Girl
Small hands Small tears Life something of a nightmare So small, such big fears I begin to weep at the thought of me So small, so brave Nothing breaking spirit, Even when the body is broken by other’s hands Small hands Small tears Little girl inside, I see you, no longer do you need toContinue reading “Little Girl”
