Heliotropism
I turn to you
like a flower
to the sun
stretching into
your nurturing
and strength
as you help me
to grow
into a better man.
Thank you for last night, my love. I really needed your help to see things differently. I might still be struggling to fully grasp everything we talked about, but the new perspective has found rich soil in which to grow, I think it just needs some more encouragement in order to flourish.
Four Years Ago
A pretty girl
with speckled fur
and amber eyes
a bright orange butt
and
permabooger nose
stole my heart
and took over
my life.
How did that happen?
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
Stichomancy
Sacred syllables
and whispered words
pages fanned
to dive right in
for small bits
of wisdom
Lost and found
in a book
This is a fun repeat exercise that I’ve now used a few times and resurrect every couple of months!
Have you ever listened to a song and suddenly realized “This song is such a Tower song!”? This week’s activity is based off the love of music and how we associate music with the world around us.
Activity: Randomly draw five cards from your deck. For each card pick (or find) a song that you feel fits that card perfectly.

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.
