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.

Became

~ Harlan Didrickson 
And as
sip became
secret as
whisper became 
laughter when 
laughter became 
kiss and 
kiss became 
true we
knew I
knew you 
knew too

IntoMorning

~ Harlan Didrickson 
I slid
away quietly 
and went 
thinking alone 
making coffee 
I felt 
two hands 
slowly sliding 
pulling me 
back and 
onto front 
then kiss
then whisper 
then turn
into morning

PerfectYou

~ Harlan Didrickson 
One is
only different 
when one 
needs others 
when one 
needs only 
himself then 
he’s perfect

AtLongLast

~ Harlan Didrickson 
I am 
tucked away 
high away
from those 
who harm
I now 
have no 
other desire 
than to 
no longer 
desire others 
and that 
my absence 
from such 
will bring 
me bliss 
far away 
high away 
from others

HighRoad

~ Harlan Didrickson 
Now I 
understand why 
the wisest
seek refuge 
away from 
the fray
it’s easier 
to watch 
the world 
unravel from 
high above 
than down 
below where 
others scurry
about desperately 
trying to 
keep it
all together
