I can’t tell you you will always feel safe.
I can’t tell you you will never feel alone. I can’t tell you life will be easy. I can’t tell you you will never suffer. I can’t tell you you will always feel like you belong. I can’t tell you you will never feel like you are at the edge of that precipice, teetering on […]
Tip-toeing through gratitude
Where dreams of innocence And peace feel like nectar underneath my feet I could feel the wind blow Through every chamber of my heart Thanking the Divine For being able to whisper Love songs of hope To weary ears That will listen to its music. To be grateful Is such a privilege So few dare […]
Underneath the chaos
She found a life worth living An intimacy borne of courage And grace That could only be seen By those who allowed Her wounds to heal Without judgement.
There was a time

Hearts from a somber and ravaged earth Waiting for heaven’s staircase to welcome Any whispers pleading for mercy So that war takes no more Souls of children who have yet to birth a voice Somewhere between freedom and peace A prayer will know stillness But at what cost to humanity Does one more tear even […]
Wounds will find any path withered by turmoil.
Drenched in landscapes of confused memories Torn between past and present Lingering moments within the abyss Ready to jump off the precipice Hoping to find meaning for suffering long held In one’s presence of being. Why can’t you see the signs? The light that blessed the wound upon its wayward journey. The life created so […]
