I hear it now

i hear it now.

not a whisper

nor a shout

i hear it now.

the future

a call

distant

melancholy?

i can’t help

but wonder

how much am I leaving behind?

i hear it now.

it’s begun to hum

a promise

wrapped in fog

soft

uncertain

it stirs the air

something that hasn’t arrived

and already feels

like a loss

i can’t grasp it

but still i feel it

the weight of all that’s ended

but what’s to come?

a thread unraveling

a door half open

an unanswered question

i step forward

i hear it now.

and let the silence carry me in

  • Dear Rigby

    the road turns slow past the fields

    stone crackles under the tires like a voice i forgot i missed

    i lean forward in my seat holding my breath

    because there you are

    just past the trees

  • Summer

    the air tastes like honey and promise 

    sticky with the scent of blooming jasmine 

    and freshly cut grass that crunches beneath bare feet 

    the sky drips blue 

    stretching wider every afternoon 

  • Turning A Page

    Verse 1
    The sun sets slow on this fading day,
    I see your faces, but they feel far away.
    Laughter lingers in the hollow air,
    But something’s shifting like you’re not really there.
