And now where
I am versus
where I was
a year ago
is nothing short
of life and
death of purgatory
and of Heaven
just that dramatic
my life it
seems is one
of various extremes
in love then
longing in despair
then content around
others then alone
near to nothing
and then whole
these extremes have
forged the steel
that I am
just like fire
and water do
to raw iron

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.
Difference
Don’t ever
think of
me as
an inspiration
for all
I’ve done
is what
we’re all
capable of
doing my
best with
what I
have had
and doing
that is
what made
the difference
IButterfly
And this
the start
of holidays
always brings
my life
into focus
as though
the world
itself sees
everything I
have lost
under microscope
and me
dodging like
a freshly
pinned butterfly
wishing to
just fly
MakingWonder
I do
miss you
not you
I know
but you
I knew
long before
and this
haunts me
making wonder
if I
saw when
you strayed
off of
the path
into woods
and alone
did I
know then
did you
making wonder
Flower
When does
a flower
realize its
pretty is
it when
its in
the field
or when
its been
picked and
put in
a vase
or bouquet
to be
kept as
something for
someone else
