Dear reader

I am saying good bye to you,

my dear reader,

Because I know after I look back over my shoulder you will be gone,

onto the next page,

maybe even the next book,

forgetting about all the little words I write on this page.

 

You will read amazing things,

from fiction,

to poetry,

maybe you will read horror,

or action,

or you might love romance,

or maybe you will read all of these because you want to live through all the lives you can't. 

 

I think it is time I bare you a farewell,

and let you move onto your next page to get captured in,

I wonder if you will write that page yourself,

or if you will read someone else's story,

either way that will be your decision,

and we will see if you remember me,

happy wandering dear reader until next time.

  • Whispers of a home

    I hear the tick of a clock letting me know every second I am wasting as I scroll through my phone,

    the slide of my finger against the screen,

    the tap of my thumb as I message someone back,

    artificial noise.

     

  • A child in Spring

    Some where there is a child jumping in new puddles,

    playing in the soft mud of the Earth,

    full of joy.

     

    Some where a child picks springs new dandelions,

    blowing on the fluffy seeds to make wishes.

  • A letter to ICE

    Pledge your life to liberty and justice,

    raise your hand and take an oath to serve and protect,

    who are you protecting though?

     

    I watch the news and see agents hurting the innocent,

    children,
