It’s always been
about the eyes
and the smiles
The eyes show
that one is
thinking and the
smiles show that
one is understanding
Despite what anyone
thinks whether they
agree or not
the eyes pull
something skyward and
the smile says
I am here

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.
TooJustTooToo
I think that I’m
too different too different
than most too different
that I become impossible
I think that I’m
better off alone alone
just with me me
and my thoughts thoughts
that carry me beyond
my own impossibility to
a place of comfort
where I am and
can think too differently
differently than almost everyone
everyone except me naturally
Destiny
There comes a time
in most everyone’s life
hopefully
when you eventually decide
that what you dreamed
isn’t going to happen
that you have become
what you’re meant to
be
It’s not your surrender
no in fact it’s
your own marching orders
Sometimes life is snowfall
covering everything in blankets
often obscuring your own
truth
But destiny never sleeps
and like snow plows
clears away the snow
showing you where to
walk in order for
you to get to
where you finally belong
MorningHere
The buildings of Denver
pop up from the
dark valley of the
front range like toast
awaiting the buttery marmalade
sunrise soon to slather
spread and spill bringing
the sweetness of morning
to the dry palette
of just another day
but soon too soon
the mountains will shine
and the sad truth
that what man builds
will never ever be
as majestic as what
natures own hand creates
will become strikingly apparent
MeHappy
I make me
happy others don’t
others never will
I know that
I’m genuinely happy
when no one
else is around
If you’re the
type that relies
on the others
to make you
happy then you’ll
never find it
Be happy alone
others will be
attracted to you
