What Crosses My Mind

  • Where I Stand

    I’m deep in the literal woods, Trying to find my peace, My day has been full of coulds Now just left in time’s lease ~ I haven’t a notion how I got here Today, while minutes clicked I did have thoughtful lives near Until nightfall’s candle wicked. ~ A simple human being capable above All…

  • Rules of Tragedy

    ‘I will light you up!’ ( the death of Sandra Bland ) ~ What harms your world designs mine I react when I can see your life unraveling before my eyes, while listening, hearing about travesty. I too have inconsolable outcomes to the unnerving reality of that which we all must endure, without ever being…

  • Feel For Others

    Inside this cavern of empty notion, forever drawn by a mystery, some landing point I might not reach even in my wildest dreams, fantasy, surreal again, that visual desire to know just why world events occur with patterned philosophy. ~ When I do listen to the news, a horrific shooting, some random loss, a question…

  • A Reasonable Code

    We live our lives by a reasonable code, that is, if we choose to live by rules, decisions made long before our lives ever mattered. Yet, now today, they seem to, whenever a new day begins, seems we have needs, look each other in the eye, to know that life exists … outside ourselves.

All the fanfare of the big house, pick your own schedule, no more lines to Algebra class, standing quiet in the hall, while Jeff McCutcheon strolled…

  • If I Pretend, Will They Too

    We want that, we wish and pray, like to believe in that we all would like it this way, mild confusion, yet, what steps in the middle of our sudden circumstance, suggests we’ve lost our ability to freely take chance with what we believed up until today. ~ When I grew up I realized I…

  • Addicts Hold On

    We do hang on while figuring out how to let go. I am often trapped inside a need to please everyone, and when I cannot, I obsess about that one difficult situation, generally that one person who I cannot fix. Why should I have to fix anyone anyway; I usually end up realizing I have…

  • Choices

    The other day he mentioned a moment the fires were lit a smoldering ember always begins with oxygen feeding, breathing, sucking out the air around to fuel the next lick of flame when the smoke suddenly emits a flash, pretty, magical, light that reflects our soul while eyes breathe its glow, we resonate in what…
