Your

future

is a step

away

see

the

as a

marathon

see

it as

stepping

stones

across

life’s

river

Oxygen (to Gabe)

Falling

crushed

long

lost

love

she

scooped

me

up

sterile

home

to

heal

now

you

your

dreams

your

plants

and

plans

breathe

in

me

pure

oxygen

to

prosper

DayWaves

The

quietest

of

night

bathes

us

in

dark

silence

rustling

sheets

herald

closeness

humid

breath

breaches

distance

warm

arms

encircle

me

dawns

light

breaks

like

small

waves

of

day

Retreat (to Jordan)

No

war

was

ever

won

without

retreat

pull

back

regroup

take

aim

before

you

surrender
