Hold onto who you are
remember belief floods a quill
there always a dream you can catch
in the stars of the night
nothing is hopeless
when there's a flicker of light
When all seems grim
grey
and
forlorn
there's a morsel of hope
at each break of dawn

we build bridges
not meant to break
teased umbral breaths
in the chill of winter
leaves falling
like September's wishes
fading in prose
I'll wait and
save a kiss for you
under the covered bridge

within the hollow of asphalt
stands a small corner of life
a #goal shaped entirely from sap
and from it, the work begins:
loosening the flint
lifting the buried seams
calling toward the horizon
as clarity slowly arrives

relief from the weight
as light becomes the dark
a penumbral periphery
your voice and mine
lost in unified invocations
innocence surrenders
with each breath
dissolving the world
when the altar consumes us

He wasn't bulky, but all #lean muscle. Whenever he stepped into our restaurant, he had specific #preferences. High protein, lower fat, as gluten-free as possible...the list went on and on.
Then one day, he didn't show. The obituary read "killed by falling piano."

Lean preferences
are the wind’s steady leaning,
the gentle pull of weathered air,
a drift shaping each choice’s sway,
where inclination bends like tall reeds
yielding to a familiar push.

She calls to me
behind an
opaque mirror,
but all I hear
is a vague #echo
refracted
through glass—
it's colour, ominous,
texture of threat,
a regret from
the past
I can't quite
interpret
I wish to tell her
it's too late—
I've lived it
yet she
can't hear me
either

No house
should be
a museum filled with
dark memories
dust gathered on the mantelpiece
echoing
all full of goodbyes
faded photos of people
long gone
A place where the past
screams out in the night
within mournful dreams

Aching is the tax we pay for a life lived fully—what hurts reminds us we’re still moving, and still becoming.
