in my mind’s eye, I caught a glimpse.

Until Next Time…

to Rose…

 

You leave today.

Dragging memories and colors behind you.

Glitter on water

and sun-kissed skin sits before you.

Peace

the world passed me by today.

standing in the middle. not moving.

Rainy Day

lazy, cloud-filled day today.

drizzle stains the sidewalk

with a patent-leather look.

Testimony

I see you. I know you. I hear you. I was you. Blinded by the way I was. Going through life feeling the way I did, doing the things I did. Thinking I was a good person, I was going somewhere. People liked me and if they didn’t I tried so hard to know why. And try. Try to fit in to whatever it was that would ensure they would like me. It didn’t matter what it was. I was always striving.

Traveling Barbie

I met a woman today…

as free as free could be.

the only ties were at the ends of her long braids…

bare feet treading gently over spotty grass

Untitled

if only I could learn not to care.

how much easier

my life would be.

not to be so moved, affected, hurt

by the things of this world.
