What Crosses My Mind

  • Passion

    I wanted to grow old with you, but I didn’t know what that would mean. As days would accumulate, I wondered how long we’d forgotten.  An energy embodies lovers, sometimes it’s really hard to measure. The years take flight too fast, couldn’t catch up beyond the errors. Everywhere I turned I failed, only to find…

  • I Feel Fear

    I saw it, reviewed it and I fell apart, the symbols were evident and stark. All day I wondered how I’d react, came home, turned on the news and immediately felt at fault, felt like I was glorifying her death, because of the horrific Hollywood replay. Truth is she was only trying to live her…

  • Traffic

    I like a steady pattern, lighting up the night. We’re all aiming together oblivious of each other. As long as we’re okay, that’s how we travel. Passing each other by, always on the alert. Another night on the highway.

  • Curiosity

    Matter that lives suspended, and sways side to side, only a breeze permits. It captures a sound, plays a little melody that a passerby might appreciate or express.  I have this imagination, lets the song have a life. I’ll sit sometimes with coffee, bathing in her relaxing tone, and find that peace of mind. The…

  • Finding Our Way

    Doesn’t matter if we are picking sides, each of us are vulnerable to habit. One is to imagine themselves alone, and the other? Well that’s my reality. I want to be kind to my neighbor. Helpful, compassionate, caring, supportive. all of the above without exclusion. I want to help us define inclusion, and just know,…

  • Shadow Moon

    I look for you in a quiet arena. When everything designed in thought, plays with my emotions, just pretends. I look forward to these visits, they seem so incredibly real in my mind. Tonight while in the shadow of the moon I’ll dance in a familiar formal air. We’ll cruise through the twilight smiling, while…

  • Finding Love

    I write what’s in my heart, my rituals, my train of thought. I wish often to be left alone, a comfort in my own psyche. It’s easy sometimes, feeling alive. Challenges lay before me, I wonder if they are my own, or do I create a crisis, my benefit. I’m standing at a crossroads, a…

  • How We Do Measure

    If I could reach into that peaceful nature we dream. Might all my misgivings put aside any reflections rewound. In the capacity of a day, so much turmoil lay ahead if I allow fear to manifest. Instead this kindness, shared love would be, peace of mind.

  • Peace and Love

    It’s funny how a couple of words can change the tone of an entire piece. I just wrote my view of Christmas, posted it, and then returned to make a couple of small edits. A couple of words changed the meaning with ever so subtle a flare. I suppose one has to decide whether they…

  • If When Where

    If in a moment I might See your eyes in moonlight. I would remember I already know. When in the shadows Your intimacy, is a light Holds bright in my mind. Where that day may be Like a bridge that we know Is in Madison county. It’s then an afternoon ice cream A pause, a…
