What Crosses My Mind

  • 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…

  • Turmoil

    When what we believe In our hearts and soul, Becomes layered in anxiety Wishing not to be retold. Same saga, a different day, And the adage, ‘old news’ Shreds us while alone inside. We keep waiting for a something, A normalcy exists, Well out of reach. We’re trying to lean forward, Yet, somewhere a confusion…

  • Days Ago

    Already, the truth is in the past, Now a society drawn to excitement, Chooses a familiar script, Relies upon everyone’s entertainment. A man died at the hands of a psychosis, So write it off as an absence of mental health. We need to wait a minute or two, Or perhaps a week and more, So…

  • A Forever Love

    It’s nearing midnight, and my thoughts are in control, Imagining what life might be like without ideals, Just living, simply carrying on as we may. I wonder sometimes if we know the truth of love. That there is fantasy in everything we do, And that notion might always cross our mind. You can look me…

  • A Calming

    Emotions are high, Thoughtful anxiety, Crosses paths with An uncertainty. If I could bottle My reactions today, Perhaps shelving them Prevents preoccupation. I look about my space, Seems to be in order, It’s inside my head I find growing pains. I remember this one time, Everything falls apart, Fight that as I may.

  • Single Notions

    I stood alone in the morning, Wondering my state of mind. I looked around my world, This was all it is, I thought. A clear mind revolves around  Us while we try to understand. A framework of vulnerability Is often the motive needed. Standing still an autumn day Reminds us of lovely memory. There’s a…

  • Being Outside

    The night held on to its light, In the wake of a full moon. Outside now a rain was falling, Indicating a change of season. The fall weather, the chill in the Air that would bring romantic Melody to our heart and soul. When life has reason to know, We hold onto the tangibles, Those…

  • So Easy To Fall

    Standing near the edge, a  Visible reminder of vulnerable Skies, waiting, letting a storm Loom on the horizon. Inside our soul seems to churn, Our heart is lost and yearns. Tonight curious will it rain, Or just shadow the eyes  With grey skies sharing fear. It’s only a walk in a forest, A quiet path…

  • Annunciation Church

    A cold couple of weeks, Feels like a day or two ago, So haunting in our lives, Such a horrid mistake of evil, The children lost their lives, Can’t wrap our head around the pain. Prayer and helplessness interact. Its pall is achingly familiar, Heart and soul in a reveal, We cannot deny, we are…

  • The Dawning

    Now we wait for that’s all that happens anticipating she’s readying herself we are excited it is the dawning, a child in our midst, about to take early breaths, those first moments, that miracle, the birth of a child. Think about the beauty, a precious gift, cannot imagine a more definitive reality of what is…
