When the voices inside,whether yours or theirs,start to rise up and disguise the lies as truths, look to the skyand see the rayof light shining downon false transparencies refracting all thebeautiful colorsthat make up you. Don't use artificiallooking glasses,for the perpetratorscan too easilyhide behind them,your doppelgänger included. See your reflection insteadin the windows of the soulsof those … Continue reading Always Have Been
You can find me among the wildflowersin the golden light;this is one of the few things I knowabout where my soul resides. You'll carry the scars;they make you who you are, but rarely will they remindof the battles you thought you lostwhen you slipped through that presumed eternal holeinside. He lies. That's all you need to knowfor … Continue reading Too Soon To Title

A timeless moment that stills me deeply, sunset silhouette, peace seeps into me. Ripples on the bay, nature's palette, a silent messenger negates all of it. Beauty is always present, serenity an exercise, hope still floats and rises.
It has been way too long since I've gone to the ocean. And it's across the street! Shame on me!
