IDYLLIC CHANDLER HEIGHTS* “Life here was once idyllic, charming; here were once no rich, no poor, no high, no low.” — from The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain men in faded caps, hands calloused like the bark of old oaks. men with wrinkled faces, fresh from the war, their broad...

Something was changing one day— I felt it when a cool breeze blew. Restless branches danced and swayed while the world around me grew silent. With the first touches of rain I smelled ozone in the air and in a moment of glory raised my arms. I embraced the moment as mine alone but looked for the word to describe how I felt like...

In chambers of the mind, we store each day, Each lesson wrapped in wonder, fear, or joy. What matters most will never fade away. The smell of chalk, the light at morning's ray, First bicycle, first book, beloved toy In chambers of the mind, we store each day. Not facts alone, but how they came to stay: The teacher's smile, the moment...

(Voice of a Broken Lineage) Before your first cry kissed Florida’s air, Two weary souls crossed oceans of despair— Your parents, Cuban hearts in exile, Arrived in 1956, not with riches, But with hope wrapped in trembling hands. They fled the storm, not to breed silence— But to gift you a voice sharp as justice. And yet, what song do you sing now, Marco...

The Stubborn Heart” Stubborn as stone, he stands his ground, Words like rivers, he won't let them drown. Eyes set firm, with fire and pride, Even truth must wait till he's tried. He sees threats wherever he may go, Every word—a weapon poised to throw. Sharp as knives, his cold replies, Send chills down spines and truth to lies. He hides his pain, but...

songer.co/song/m64h48fkez0e3jlyj38d0wpy [Intro] Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Sweet summer gypsy girl, I see you in the rain, You dance like stars in the sky, I can’t quite reach you, no matter how I try, Do you ever look up and wonder why? We’re half a world apart, yet feel so near, Like waking from a dream — and it’s suddenly clear. [Pre-Chorus] Am I chasing...

I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere. You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see. The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection. The harmless object when it’s inside its box. I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere. You’re the scariest thing for the heart. The deadliest weapon for the soul. The...

SIBLING REMEMBRANCES* In the warm, sunlit corners of our childhood where laughter spills like marbles across the floor, I hear the echoes of our shared secrets, each whispered promise a thread woven into the fabric of our youthful days. We were explorers, mapping the terrain of our backyard kingdom, with sticks as swords, the garden hose our river, where we splashed and shrieked, the world...

My soles press soft into sidewalks. I leave a trail of graphite steps They etch out my first sentence— a diary in crayon, a novel in margins Time sharpens the graphite steps I stroll through my city growing younger White tiles paved over the dirt path I loved but look: beneath the cracks, faintly traced, ghosts of my graphite steps Size 5 kneels where...

I did not come to win the world— I came to feel it bleed. To taste the silence in the hungry mouth, To weep where no one dared to read. To my family— You held my name like worn cloth, never quite knowing what I was stitched to become. But I loved you more than I could say. I only wanted to bring...

A major street along the country A place minds are calmed, Listening to Holy word And words of wisdom into heart A Holy place created by Heavenly Father To turn us into good And away from evil...

A tree birthed in girl's heart behind the window Wherever, however, old Aspens are made — And God was in green's time, Christ coming in gold. The solo leaf that before my look just swayed — She dropped in the dark, though would her lost life grow. While at Autumn's end, I remember her shade — Tree limbs...

One day… After the fires are done And the water has carried all maps away… Someone will find you. Not to save... To name again. And then, you will remember You were not lost....
