Forever in the Yard

A breeze formulating, as soft as a cloth, you wipe away my tears, you settle my shaking bones. Out in the sun, ice cold sips of water, your hand warms my skin just the same. Laughter prances across the yard, we share the same smile. The grass beneath my bare feet; I’ll be home forever. Until a brisk night falls, we’ll share the shiny stories, the […]

On Time

I’ve gotten so used to digital clocks it often takes me a few seconds to read an analog clock on a wall. And by the time I’ve read it, the time I was trying to tell has passed, and now I am stuck trying to tell how much time has passed from then until now, […]

Night of the Connecticut Swallows

The young swallows flylike black ashes in the sky.Take no time for rest,for the skies they must infest.The birds fly into the evening. Dark clouds of dots danceon the horizon, they romance.The red sky retires,the night put out the fire.Of swallows I was dreaming.

Glow

A curve, a dip, a slope  You are full of light, more than you truly know  You may not look full, you may encompass darkness  Yet you provide immense light  You have a uniqueness, a dimness, that glows in a way no full moon could ever beam  Someone could sit if they needed a rest  […]

Water Color Heart

Rendered in colors blue and gold and sageOf water color, my fragile heart was made.Its pigments spread onto the ancient pageMade from the sturdy bark which aspens gave. It shifts, it changes every time it rains.The colors bleed and intertwine within.And when I weep, it further seeps and stains.Mostly it spreads. Grows wide, but it […]

A New Kind of Change

It is a given that at some point when young adults are trying to decipher who they are, disheveling emotions can arise, and the line between who we want to be and who we actually are becomes blurry. During these youthful years, there’s a certain standard that one sets for themselves—a standard that is different […]
