What Crosses My Mind

  • My Residence

    I stood alone today, letting the hours pass, feeling my anxiety, my thoughts do scream. Outside I could only imagine, pain so many would experience. I was safe in the immediacy. I didn’t know direct loss. I did light candles on my sills. My mind has been racing, I want to move beyond the news.…

  • I’d Like To Know

    Tonight I felt a dark moment, what inside my mind seemed well beyond a typical day. I was suddenly retracing steps, listening to news that repeated itself all week long. Tonight it all felt unfamiliar the way it only rattled my mind with no explanation. I struggled with where and when and who the news…

  • A Fearful Moment

    When in the matter of a few hours, suddenly, trying to piece everything together evaded me. I dug deep into my mind not realizing why loose ends remain. Suddenly I felt completely alone, wondering about my day, my afternoon. What if I shared this with someone, I thought to myself. I realized I can’t.  This…

  • Exile (Minneapolis)

    What might feel like home, has left the arena to make room for an old played out charade. We can’t go shopping, dining, visiting neighbors in home and afar, without fearing this ill reckoning. What’s my home once was yours. Today let’s create a serious code, lets find security in our communication, help us all,…

  • Reflections

    Inside everything is measured, Seldom spoken only imagined By an onlooker so removed. Those patterns of behavior Tied to an affliction carry our Weight wherever we may land. Inside a mind is a circus of Balancing acts, a trapeze, a maze. Each turn of the mind changes Asking only a simple direction. Clues may always…

  • Night Sky

    Brought me home all day Knowing I could count on her. Standing under a summer’s mist, Could feel her romantic urgency. We weren’t long anymore, Shorter became a misfortune, We only knew it had arrived. All we could do now is cry, Standing alone together forever Under a disguise, an evening sky.

  • An Absence

    While everywhere around me seems a chaotic journey. I can’t help thinking that somehow I might lose my way. We all seem to be climbing this long ladder of despair. Each rung representing a hurdle. I feel like I honestly walk around in a daze, realizing everything true, is happening around me. I wake up…

  • Shells

    Inside is a luxurious tactile shelter where we all might wish to be. Sometimes attainable in a dream, quite out loud in our sitting room. Where we know that the outside contains all the misconceptions  and thrills at the same time. Our space inside doesn’t tighten, it is in the mystique of a gift we…

  • Abundant Love

    If a  heart and soul feel aligned, then kindness could exist in our lives. If in those moments of fear and wrath, we need believe, a smile can be free. A lifetime lays upon anyone’s dream, and it’s there to create beauty alone. When next we might question worth, stay true, heart and soul will…

  • Wrapping My Head Around It All

    Captured in the moment are the anxious. Trying in vain to overcome a peril, A society out of control, no longer together. Everything we believe is confusion. If when we wake we wrap ourselves in The daily news, we will struggle. How difficult it can be to understand The weight, an indecisive leadership. Every morning…
