  Polaroids of a Lighthouse

  I admit I’m not the same women in the Polaroids anymore. I had to change to survive. To hold onto to the light that I thought had died. I spent time fighting to survive. Every note I sung off-key. Every quit moment full of contemplation and maybes. I still fill up with thoughts or you.…

  Honest Thoughts on Compassion

  As of late, I have been absent from this blog. I felt the need to give myself time to mourn. I learned that it is a long and tedious process that can’t be rushed or ignored. For a year and a half, I fought my emotions, worked out, laughed, cried and tried to make sense…

  Moisture Again

  It is spread out in sparse patches over dry land. Growing and waning with drought. Stretching towards a bright sun. The ground cracks and breaks like broken skin touched by burning fire. Balm is needed. A salve could heal it but only rain from the sky above will do. Just like love, water heals and…

  Stubborn Heart

  There’s something wonderful about a stubborn heart. It beats when no one expects it to. It pushes in spite of insidious circumstances. Seeking unconditional love when the length of caring has run its course. Grasping onto straws that slip out of moist hands. Yet it continues to swim in the bliss of reverie. And that’s…
