What Crosses My Mind

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • Tomorrow’s Another Day

    If I could go back, I think about all the things I wish I could redo again. The one that comes up first is high school and my studies. I was a bright guy, but a lousy student. My outcome in high school is what motivated me to become a teacher in the first place.…

  • I Listen To Old Rock And Roll

Oh the lyrics that do certainly bring me home, Traveling on the highways for decades of time. I remember…

  • 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…

  • Strong Presence

    When the immediate becomes Our primary focus. Measures of time put aside, With memory and somber moments. All quiet reminders, what once was. Today it lays ahead yet we caution  Ourselves to peek too far. A full moon suggests our psyche, While deep inside we are safe. Bless the moment when the now Begins our…

  • The Rippling Effect

    Its meaning is contagious when all else is failing, lives seem to unravel, a moment of loss, a second further, and there are more and more even, the rippling of our emotions, shed light upon each other, and when we turn, begin to love, suddenly that persona we are so afraid of becomes attractive, asks…
