self reflection
Life’s Cobwebs
I wandered down
the dusty hallway of my life
wondering
if I should swipe down
and clean up the cobwebs
or leave them
in the beautiful, unique state
each one is

Being Me
It’s the way I need
to start the day being me…
in my alone world
of words
coffee aroma permeating
my imagination
the air of outdoors
breathing life to my soul
and page
doing nothing
but what my heart moves me
to do
at my own pace
in my own moments of time

What to Feel
It’s a funny thing about feelings. They are your own and no one else’s. Yet there are societal rules about how you should feel. Or what you should do with those feelings. You’re supposed to feel this–and not to feel this. And I say, “Fuck it.” I am the only one who controls me, my feelings, my heart, my soul. Life is too short not to feel the way I want–so I will.

Unexpected
Unexpected moments
fill my life
like a space between heartbeats
fractures of time
never thought
or sought
yet they become
what makes me alive
a breathing sensuous being
now with wings to soar
where no one else
needs to know

Where Am I?
There are days
I cannot find myself
lost among winds of time and change
wandering through memories of laughter and pain
fighting the rains
washing me clean
or
washing me away
my world turned on its axis
for a different view
me…searching for that person I know
in this new picture

Today It Was Real
Today it was real
this was it
I am no longer
what I was
the me I knew
for 31 years
has disappeared
into the ghost yard
of those before me
I have no schedule
no constraints of time
no eyes upon me
looking for knowledge
I gladly gave each day
my time is now my own
and I am free
