What Crosses My Mind

  • I Get Jealous Sometimes

    So kind, so generous, so compassionate, words I feel evade me, when in the lower moments I forget about my humanity. We all possess this ability to turn down our opportunity to live our lives free of scrutiny. Oh we do have paths, we must learn to live by, and yet when we become self…

  • Silent Sky In Moonlight

    Watch silent the sky in the midnight glow. Walk alone in the night, we seem to know. When the stars align would we wish to go. Another place other than here we know. Sixty four years later, now does it show. One time ago, I wouldn’t care to know. A thought keeps unfolding that I…

  • Why Sisters Are Cool

    I called my sister today, before I even uttered a word she asked me if everything was ok, then in a gasp I tried to breathe she said then, what’s wrong?   I called my sister today, before I even uttered a word I knew I could lose my shit and she would think it…

  • The Deepest Cut

    There in the silence a wandering soul, human being whom when asked will respond, will navigate inside a moment.   What is it the seeming attraction takes their heart beyond finding peace, instead persecution offers solace before a quiet passion.   Once in a storybook lived a man who did question his life, the meaning…

  • Observing Humanity at Ease

    Driving along the highway this morning, I came upon a woman walking alone on the side of the road. I found her to be an odd sight, it was raining, there wasn’t a sidewalk per se, and she was walking away from an industrial region of the city. I looked around to see a stalled…

  • Letting Go of Control

    We do so often choose to realize far too late, the consequence of our dreams ~ While stroll sweet surreal in disguise we often relate yet fully unaware of our screams ~ Much later of course when commitment has taken hold we’re left to only wonder alone ~ Were it simpler to define our resentment might…

  • Confusion in Normalcy

    We do seek it, in our every day, wake up, stare into the sunlight, recognize a world begins today what we do forever then might ~ hold a key to our solemn vow to be true to our singular heart without realizing we cannot allow our lives to become torn apart. ~ For I do…

  • Strange Motivation

    When finally we realize the word how to suggest someone somewhere decide what value belongs inherent absurd, or are we all along for the same ride. ~ Did we discuss just where to draw the line instead an arduous reality might call upon confusion that’s mine tossed around windswept as a cloudless night. ~ The wonder of human nature’s…

  • When Rounding Corners

    Recall the velocity of our lives while shapes and arrows aim high, the low horizons remain like knives keeping us grounded without deny ~ We can believe we are always free, yet in a moment the trappings of love ask us when we might remember we were once listening to the cooing dove. ~ Speaks…

  • Slated Departures

    “Why it’s easy”, she told him as he looked to her for guidance. Simply make it a priority and it will happen. In his mind, all he could think about was this didn’t happen in his world. It was far too expensive for one, not to mention that so many other things mattered. She had…
