New Beginnings

I walked through the forest at dusk. I could hear the faint sound of an owl calling my name as I stumbled over fallen trees. It was dark, yet I knew of the clearing ahead of me. I kept walking, trying to avoid tree branches slowly threatening me. As I approached the clearing, I watched as golden beams of energy erupted before me. I knew I had made it soundly. I walked through the passage and decided to climb up a tree. Allowing myself to take a deep breath, I let the tree’s bark enclose its arms around me. I sat on top of the tree waiting for the sun to set. In other words, I sat on top of the tree waiting for everything to set. The clearing brought new beginnings, and I was ready to be wrapped up in all of them.

  • End to Begin


    After running circles, and dodging rocks,
    blistered hands, and torn up socks,
    I had finally reached the end.
    Standing in the middle of the old dirt road,
    my mind was at peace,
    for I thought I returned home,
  • Gone with a Breeze

    I sat quietly on the beach minding my own business.
    I watched as the waves washed over the dampened sand.
    The sun glistened on the pebbles, and the clouds moved ever so slowly.
    The beach was quiet, but my thoughts were loud.
