And yesterday felt
like a rubber
band snapping back
and surprising me
leaving a sting
where hope should
have been found
things for me
went as planned
things with others
definitely did not
and I stood
there feeling like
a high school
freshman after gym
having just been
snapped with a
towel by the
seniors and wondering
why do they
have to do
this to me

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.
Just…
With these
I explain
what I
then understand
and until
not before
they are
just clouds
in some
blue or
stormy sky
promising everything
meaning nothing
to everyone
except me
Photograph
And so yesterday
I stumbled across
a recent photograph
on social media
of a home
that used to
be ours and
which now is
a house belonging
to him only
it looks familiar
that house though
now it's just
some random thing
lifeless standing there
no longer breathing
or pumping with
what once was
the very essence
of our life
funny how photographs
capture certain things
and miss many
others namely love
Adventure
A very dear friend
is starting a new
job today at the
young age of sixty
it just confirms that
life is an adventure
and that if anything
we are all but
children on the first
day of school whenever
we start something new
help me to wish
him luck on this
for he like all
of us at one
time or another have
been aboard our ship
embarking to somewhere unknown
while the rest wave
bon voyage from the
safety of the dock
Before
Even before this
before this before
I knew what
so I thought
but now this
before before this
I realized that
I didn’t know
because this before
before this happened
all the other
befores were practice
for this before
