Where every wilderness unimaginable Earths itself in silence until awakened By a hunger only recognized by the gods. What has withered away is nothing more Than a loneliness yearning To confess its sins to a heart Emblazoned by love. My wilderness whispers each time it sees the sun. Anointed by its radiance, prostrating itself before […]

New Year 2025
You become your own home dear child. Giving birth amidst the chaos, Ensconced in every landscape plundered By multifaceted wounds from every dimension. You’ve mastered the art of breathing in the darkness. Haven’t you? Reaching for any earthen holiness To hold you tightly against the ravages of time Waiting in earnest to walk with a […]
Christmas
Shepherding each other toward a world of light, The littlest of joys sneak upon us With such merriment That we are cradled in wonder From spirit to soul. Oh how the child within us Remembers with pure innocence The magic of celebration Of holiness dancing upon our hearts. How we dreamed of more light Until […]
Winter Solstice
The sun will whisper its longest prayer to our ancestors. It’s rays will spiral into fractals of grace, releasing us from forms of old. Both master and servant will yield to the unknown power of the Solstice. There will be a moment for both humans and spirits to dwell in the house of the gods, […]
At times we think our wounds are greater than anyone else’s.
Our landscape and emotional architecture protects us from a pain which is greater than any individual wound can carry.

I saw my own death
Standing there amidst the pines Whose needle like leaves ensconced His powerful stature. Unsure of the path between He and I, I whispered sweet nothings into the ethers Trembling as I tip-toed through the brush Trying to anticipate His every move Undulating sweat pouring forth From my body, Hands clenched in fervent prayer, I drew […]
You possess a loneliness infused
By grace. An impoverished spirit beset by the incessant questioning as to Whether or not you are a worthy child of God. You have been invited into His heart Many a time, wandering aimlessly Amidst your own power struggles. The innate desire for connection, To both a light and a darkness You still cannot comprehend.

Most tears are fertile in a
Womb deemed barren By centuries of confusion and despair Where love and hate diffuse themselves Amidst the sun and stars And a sullen earth pleads for a gentler heart to Mend its wounds. A simple moment of gratitude Please bestow upon brethren An intimacy you are frightened of A loneliness shared amongst the many Whose […]
Us versus Them
When people ask me if I think we have evolved, I am reticent to answer that question. These United States have only been incorporated for a few hundred years. We’ve rarranged the narrative, all of us, literally in our history books, so that we see ourselves as hero and victor, creator of freedom, savior on […]
