Mine
Hot skin
Slow beat
Every breath
a hitch
such heat
make it hurt
make it sting
make it hot
make you scream
I want to make you
soar

Gideon’s Challenge
Stichomancy
Sacred syllables
and whispered words
pages fanned
to dive right in
for small bits
of wisdom
Lost and found
in a book

Hidden Potential
Scattered bricks
and broken stone
piled high
a scattered mess.
With hammer
and chisel
you will find
that the chaos
becomes beauty
and form.
This property has some of the most interesting and beautiful artisan created garden walls that I’ve ever seen. The pile indicates that there are plans for much more yet to come, and I can only imagine the beauty of what will one day be finished.

Tattered Petals
beaten
battered
badly bruised
yet there is no
broken
to be heard
instead
the bruises
have their own beauty
and growth continues
along with
life’s journey

Downward Glance
When up so high
above it all
peace appears
to reign below
and it’s easy
to forget
that people roam
upon the earth
like ants
upon a hill.

Gideon’s Challenge
Quiet Time
A quiet day
a balcony
a cup of tea
and a book.
Sometimes it’s
the simple things
that make life
worth living.
Self care isn’t always about the things we do. Sometimes it’s about the things we decide to put off and do tomorrow. Sometimes it’s about doing nothing at all… just for a little while.
