Words here
don’t mean
words here
don’t describe
words here
only hear
words here
just listen
words here
never derive

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.

Paradox
It is now
and in this
where I find
that my peace
rests in silence
being absent from
not absent to
quiets what’s been
what I knew
as my humanity
emotion makes not
one only hope
but gives rise
to one’s despair
being absent from
gives one an
unbridled compassion for
everything that is
that is not
the paradox human
Lessons
Life is
lessons the
teacher matters
not the
meaning of
others lies
in you
not them
they aren’t
the problem
nor you
the solution
it’s the
lesson that’s
always learned
JourneyOn
The one thing
that I have
chosen not of
renders all those
that I have
meaningless it’s in
this silence that
I find myself
floating
somewhere close to
surface but not
being now a
creature of the
deep
