I hear the rain
Wishing it were snow
Rain sounds like heartbeats
Reminding me I’m forgotten
Snow sounds like singing
Reminding me I’m alive
Turning one into another
And always back again

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.
Then
You only ever miss
Something until you can’t
We never really realize
How lucky we are
When we are lucky
We always seem to
Be looking somewhere else
When where we are
And what we’re doing
And who we’re with
Will one day be
Long gone and then
When it’s too late
We will miss now
Then
OhYeahRight
When ocean is kidnapped
By clouds and carried
Thousands of miles away
And turned into snow
Does it ever know
That its only purpose
Is to witness a
Child’s burgeoning glee seeing
When leaves turn colors
After having enjoyed living
Green during the summer
Does it ever know
That by its fall
Will bring lovers close
Enough for a kiss
In life we go
About being one thing
Until that is we
See that all this
Was never really about
Us but of another
That we most certainly
Will never ever know
AllIsGood
The simple statement
All is good
Is a blessing
To utter those
Is to understand
To have seen
And then accept
All is good
Manifests the Divine
Here on earth
Brings into being
Peace and calm
Kindness and compassion
Love and affection
Tribulation
I have endured a
Period of oppression I
Have kept my faith
I have seen humor
In the darkness like
A small sliver of
Sunlight I have outlasted
This three year night
I have made friends
Of my enemies and
Now at last I
Emerge back into light
Better because of it
Let me speak no
More of this with
Anyone except my God
For only He knows
And no one else
Will ever understand this
