the sky broke open the day you left, and every drop whispered your name. beneath my coat, the cold crept in, but the ache in my chest burned just the same. you once said rain could cleanse the soul— but all it’s done is make me whole with memories I can’t contain… so i sing a song in the rain, where the silence...

Swimming in the Sand
i thought the tide would carry me, but waves retreated silently. i ran toward dreams that slipped right through, like footprints gone without a clue. the shore was wide, the sky was grand, but i was swimming in the sand. i built a boat from hope and flame, but nothing stillness couldn’t tame. i reached for stars that looked so near, but found no...

Living for a Dream
i’ve walked on roads with cracks and fire, held on tight through sinking mire. the world kept saying “let it go,” but my heart whispered, “no, not so.” i’ve fallen more than i could count, but every fall just carved me out. they called it foolish, called it blind— but hope was the only thing i’d find. i’m living for a dream, not...

Mind like wires
Her mind was beautiful Like wires At the back of those old TVs A riot of colors, ideas criss-crossing Bouncing off one another, melting, melding Beautiful like a rainbow. There was no straight connection To the relay of things, she said. And her face, her face! Varied more constantly than weather patterns Depending on what channel she was on What high! But it was her mind That...
