Have seen a raging river
So full in the early spring
As it's rushing down the
Mountain and life that it
Does bring the jumping
Silver spanning salmon
As it struggles to it's far
And distant destination
I have seen green forest
Meadows when it seems
Just like a dream and the
Colorful flowers that are
Growing near a pure and
A rocky mountain stream
All of this I have also seen
And the whispering pine
In the whispering winds
And songs the birds sing
Searching for a mate with
Songs of love that they do
Imitate and clouds sailing
Across the light blue sky
Yet all of this means very
little with out you within'
my life
“perhaps the sun is a teacup, spilled by a girl in a skyhouse who laughs in polka dots–”

You wrote like someone
who had been listening
long before speaking,
each poem a hush,
each repost a gentle offering.

This space once held you,
your words, your calm curation,
a gentle steadiness
in a shifting field of voices.

take this small goodbye
not as an end,
but as a door left open,
just in case
you return with your light.

Until then,
may strength find you
in soft moments,
and peace arrive
never needing to be earned.

If i could write a song
It would be about you.
It would sing your praises.
I would join in too.
I've never met anyone,
that could touch a part of me,
that lives so deep down inside.
Where no one else could see.
I'll always be grateful
And would move heaven and earth for you
I'd kiss you a million times
With passion so deep and true.

the sea, the sea
bring me to the sea
in front of her crashing waves
where I can dream of being free

Sometimes
Simple things are
Complicated than
Complicated things

You told me you missed me,
but that was a lie,
because the only thing you missed,
was the ability to play with my mind.

intercity, riding the
stillworn lovelines

(the long blue string)

our hearts are just
buildings to live in
autumn now cut
and curled away
slips asleep

the fields are afloat
in great white sheets

the trees filled
with drifts and blooms  
in the falling light

a fox
that ancient coil of flame
appears beside the dark river
contemplating codes
hidden in the snow
and the cold

what is it in life
that calls your favor?

why
after every storm

do we immediately
seek stars?

You can chase the sun, sail every sea,
Climb every peak you dream to see.
But peace won’t come from outer skies—
It lives within, not where it lies.

Until you calm your inner tide,
No place on Earth will feel like pride.
