Tsunami

Tsunamis.
Come and go as they please, 
Often unannounced.
Like a party crasher at a wedding,
Or a surprise package in the mail.
Unexpected and unknown.

Tsunamis.
Bring chaos and panic,
Tumbling down around you.
Like a thunderstorm,
Or a blizzard,
They can ruin whatever they please.

Tsunamis.
Destruction and terror,
Panic and stress,
Yet, after every rainstorm, comes a rainbow.
New Beginnings, a fresh start.
The light at the end of the tunnel.

Found

All things must be brought into this world, one way or another.
Humans, cats, and octopi too.
Unadorned, unembellished plant pot, 
Holds the key to a new life.
Tendrils filled with hope, reaching up and up and up again. 
A lamp, now antique, still has that magic.
It brings life of its own into the world, a light in the dark.
A pen, flowing with ideas, waiting to be compiled. 
Built upon a foundation of crisp paper,
Sturdy as ever, though it is frail. 
One way or another, all things must be brought into this world.

Sight

A beautiful thing,
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 
Frosted windows, 
Glistening in the moonlight. 
Snow sparkling, 
Only for you. 
Can be felt, but beauty comes with sight,
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

A lovely thing, 
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 
The spark in the eye of a loved one, 
And the smirk on their face. 
Their beauty,
For you to cherish.
Can be told, but beauty comes with sight,
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

A fascinating thing, 
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 
The vibrant hues of flowers and rainbows,
Bright colors filling a canvas. 
Cannot be felt, or heard, or touched,
Only seen. 
Yet,
Maybe beauty is not always in the EYE of the beholder.

Luna's Light

Again and again as the days go by
Looking above into the night sky
Glance up at the faces of stars
Like fireflies once kept in jars
Their beauty shines down from above
Yet I only care about my one true love
I look to Luna for her light
Always there for me, every night
As the days pass, Luna grows
Blooming nightly like a rose
Though I wish for her to stay
Luna flees during the day
Her light illuminates my life
Curing my sorrows and my strife
As she glows, my troubles depart
Luna’s light shines into my heart

I Am From

I am from land
rolling, vast expanses of farm and family.
I am from bicycle statues and railroad tracks, 
walking daily circles around the town I knew.

I am from separation
changing schools, family, states, and life.
I'm from bickering and insults,
family ties cut and reknotted.

I am from passion and compassion,
fervor for art, friends, and existence:
ladder rings to grasp, keeping me from falling.

I am from moments and memories, 
molding me from who I once was,
to the girl that I now am.

Sanctuary

heart strings yanked and knotted
bottles spun and lashes batted
unrequited warmth,
intertwined tendrils as palms brush.
our nervous sleepovers, we gossip about our feelings:
a confessional for joy

because what is safe but boys?

shut down from the start
confessions of feelings,
a pact made to not be broken
emotions unlimited,
confined to the safety of myself

actions only a thought
always reaching - never acting
long strides with flag in hand
fighting for the rights of others
not indulging in the necessity of my own
