  • The Flowers Of Your Personality

    The flowers of your personality
    Are always in full bloom.
    The bees buzz around them,
    Inspired by your strength.
    The weeds are not present,
    Repelled by your stance.
    The hummingbirds flutter,
    Admiring your peace.
  • Carefree drops

    The rain pitter-patters against the roof,
    Dripping down the sides.
    The pipes treat the steady streams
    Like a water slide,
    Twisting and turning their way down.
    The constant drops thrum in my ears,
    Echoing like a shout in a cave.
  • Free, As It Should Be

    The wind whips across the waves,
    Howling, and whistling,
    Ringing in my ears.
    It blows closely to the water,
    Not giving it any choice
    But to give in,
    And roll along the surface.
    It washes away the clouds,
  • Respect From The Scenery

    The sand parts beneath my feet,
    making way for my stance,
    knowing that I am stronger.

    The cool waves lap at my feet,
    rushing over the skin,
    knowing I need relief from the sand
    that feels as hot as the sun.
  • A Distance That Doesn't Show

    My legs launch of the block,
    At the sound of the buzzer.
    I glide smoothly into the water,
    Forming delicate splashes,
    And tiny waves.
    My feet kick,
    Pushing and pulling the water.
    My arms haul me forward,
  • Streaking Emotions

    Lightning flashes,
    Streaking bright yellow
    Across the sky.
    Thunder booms,
    Rattling your brain,
    Shaking your view.
    The clouds let it out,
    After bottling up the rain
    And precipitation.
    The sky is gloomy,

  • I'm Sorry

    I'm sorry 

    I'm sorry for what 

    My country is doing 

    For what we seem to think 

    Is OK   

    I'm sorry for how 

    My president is acting 

  • Gaea and Her Children

    As I sit in the grass a sense of magic overcomes me. The mother of all, Gaea, is here.

    I can’t see her, but I feel her presence everywhere. She is crying, sobbing, mourning her lost children, the trees, the birds, the bears, the flowers.

  • Vulnerable

    At school

    we're doing a poetry unit.

    "Oh cool, we write poetry all the time!"

    My friend says.

    What we didn't realize, though,

    was that the teacher turned on the tap

    to our inner selves

  • You

    What if you were 

    just 

    a thought, 

    an idea, 

    a possibility, 

    a thing floating 

    with nowhere to 

  • Come and See

    Your God is not my God.  Stay with me now, I know this makes your hackles rise, your hands raised in the spiteful fear that you could be challenged. The fear of fraud.

  • Free Bird

    They soar the skies, as free can be,

    A gentle flap, a wind-carried wing.

    Feathers drift through open air,

    While oceans shimmer far beneath.

    One could only dream to be

    So unbound—so endlessly free.
