A letter to the futureGood morning there
Here I come..
With nothing in hand
But promise of the better you
I lament no more…
The torment of the past
Remain in the past
Here I pass my greetings.
I wax thinking my yesterday was the worst
Until I heard you are the best
Then I got perplexed by your possibilities
I got possessed by your peace
Here...

ChameleonI’ve been a chameleon my whole life—
Blending, shifting, changing with the tide.
I have worn a thousand faces, each not quite my own,
Shifting like shadows, wherever I was thrown.
But in the silence, a whisper would start—
A voice from deep within my heart.
What remains when there’s no one left to please?
Just me in the mirror—no disguise, no...

Truth Lives For People Who Have FaithLike water flows freely,
Where the spirit send.
Shows surely growth,
For those who mature.
Hearts will revived,
Souls will be saved.
People reach the light,
There's no emptiness
Where the truth lives....

DaisyThey say a single white
blossomed.
Petals flung wide
in the east wind’s howl—
She must be lonely.
Alone? Yes, but not adrift.

Big Little Strong Girl
it's okay...
but it didn't start out that way
from the time of your entry from the birth canal
your clock of pain started ticking
a ticking of pain that seemed never ending
like a long slow road to hell
driving pain bone marrow deep,
but no one could tell,
'cause you hid it well
you were left on your own...

deteriorationMy mind racing behind a cloud of smoke. The systematic deterioration of my life's work. yet most of the time I sit smiling, open minded to the possibility's, and to the actions that require an opposite and equal reaction to the options that lay dormant . Nothing came to mind. Rather id...

The Snakes in a field of Green
I inhale deeply, take the first step with desire in my soul to grow
to be the seed replanted in the soil to receive Vitamin D from Father Sun
I wanna be free, but I know I cannot fear living
just because I breathe out my nostrils and out my mouth.
I still hunger and desire for more for...

Out Loudi can write it all down.
every syllable, i never got to say.
on paper, i’m fluent,
maybe even eloquent.
but in the room,
my tongue turns against me.
my throat locks like a vault.
i’ve rehearsed it all before.
in margins,
in drafts,
in dead message boxes
i watch my voice
rot behind my teeth,
while everyone else
converses.
what good is articulation
if it only echoes
inside my own skull?
what...

Aaru's FlutterI'm a baby.
I move constantly. Amazingly constantly.
And I flutter hard. Amazingly hard.
Why?
Because I'm rehearsing.
I'm rehearsing moving like I mean it.
I'm rehearsing being strong like oak trees.
I'm rehearsing dancing like butterflies.
I'm rehearsing for rolling.
I'm rehearsing for sitting.
I'm rehearsing for crawling like little explorers.
I'm rehearsing for walking like big kids.
My...

REFLECT
Reflection
Describes how one is seen
Shows your opposite gene,
In the light of day, I see the smiles
Spreading around, bring it for a while.
Ends up, we all fake it, it seems
It was a reflection of what the world wanted to be seen
Interchangeable we grief
Leaving the past a mirror of our relief
With every step on...

Running Through LifeI’m not running from my life
I just need this moment to think
In these moments, in this open space…get a firm grip
So many challenges, so many heartbreaks
The obstacles … the major dips
But I know I must keep moving on
There’s much life to be lived.
Past tears could create new oceans
This awesome power lies with me.

The Prismatic Self
"A silenced tongue weighs heavy against the soul," quote by poet.
I sit amongst a single light,
light illuminating a hand-built oaken desk,
desk with pictures of the past lay out randomly around me,
whilst I hear the whoosh of her oxygen machine droning on—
breathing life into her failing lungs.
Drowning in overwhelming emotions,
I seek an outlet to...

Run OnDear God,
Let me run on
Until my work is done
For every mountain in my path
Give me the strength to climb
Let me run on
Until my work is done
For every river that is before me
Give me the ability to swim and cross
Let me run on
Until my work is done
For every thunderstorm that may appear
Give me the wisdom to...
