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…

  • Waking Silence

    A loud cacophony of indecision will break a silence without vocal interference some remedy lost though it would recall. Nostalgic moments direct our psyche when it is a time allowance to imagine some heartfelt memory the sort that seem forever. We seek the truth yet we will fight the hurt. ©️ Thom Amundsen 6/2021

  • Wishing Dreams

    A spirit guide might visit a passion setting in stride life’s beauty is a ride. Yet time does wait upon internal remnants churning within my psyche. While outside lives a life of pleasantry agreeable acceptance and absolutes, if only the traveling disdain subside. Would then wishful dreams pass forward an energy with love could line…

  • The Hippie Girlfriend

    She’d always ask him to tell her a story, and he could only come up with one. Her. At first, it would be endearing, how they could stroll and feel each other’s skin graze upon one another, the light air, a spring morning. It didn’t matter when, maybe him sitting at the counter with a…

  • First Moments

  • Quiet Roads

    The crunch of gravel kicking up dust from a distance looks like Urgency some need to get away keeps driving me further. Wanting to know yet feeling the distance, her just out of reach Philosophy. Just one more chance the embodiment of truth may lay only ahead never to be realized yet likely it is…

  • Finding A Ledge

    Oh, I remember standing in a safe distance watching them play the risk to the edge, wondering of the five there, two over near, a dozen way beyond the fence, were any one vulnerable, wondering just really curious about the edge, the immediacy of leaving behind memory and travels. ~ I’ve stood on many a…

  • Misplace Design

    We believe we are, a contemporary to what once seemed a regularity, yet we cannot seem to get past the truth.   Do you, we, can everyone feel it in the moment, when we least desire to be noticed, that fear returns, always knocking on our door.   This thing about love, when least expected,…

  • a different life

    Recently, inside a fantasy I was given something not ever would I imagine.   Life doesn’t hold a twist upon what we believe, or chance state of mind might bury itself for years.   An orderly intimacy drawn on paperwork eons ago, the masters of a philosophy in matrimony created this our lives, borne out…

  • Stuck

    when a person cannot fathom a universe without meaning. when having a tomorrow will bring a fearful Speculation. when knowing the truth seems miles away safely tucked inside a dream filled with forgotten keys … When! ©️ Thom Amundsen 2019
