Leap of Faith
That leap of faith
I sometimes take
are strides without my thinking
Instead of calculating length

The Yoga Mat
I somehow wound up
Sitting on a blue yoga mat in my back yard.
It was just so beautiful to sit inside
And the sun was calling me today which it normally never does
(if so I'm usually am too busy to listen) -
Carbonated
I have this cage around my chest
its metallic and bared so close together
My lungs can not properly expand.
Each breath stings my sternum

that can not and will not bend -
Unlike Me
A poem by Sienna (my sister!)
Drawing is not like writing.
It isn't, not a bit.
They say its worth a thousand words,
But you don't write in it.

I have spent my teenage years healing the younger me.

Healing Isn't Linear
Walk in a straight line they say,
They say you should have moved on by now.
Walk forward and never look back, they say.

with the sun,
an ancient plate
in danger of breaking
holds pancakes

bursts of REM that gave me the illusive bliss
of being wherever
and the closest return
to the mind of a child
