Wishing

I sit here wishing I write each memory down.

Each drop of my storm,

Enough droplets to hint a faded rainbow beyond.

Something to leave behind

 

Soon I will not be here

In this place.

 

Only a mere reflection in the pace of streams,

In the chorus of a waterfall,

And in a forest of dreams.

 

If only I make my place

On the waters of time

If I look up to face 

 

The storm and let it rain

 

I will belong in the trill of birdsong,

In the withering of wildflowers,

And in the hearts of those 

Who have been stormed upon

  • We Cannot Be Stopped

    She wrote until her fingers carved groves in the silence and spoiled the blankness before. Then, she turned to each surface left unwrote and sang. The birch trees wept as she tore back the bark to reveal stories beneath. 

  • Echoes of You

    I await you in the open grass–

    The rolling plains roam my mind

     

    Dark-swept winds ride the horizon–

    Damp with the promises you left unanswered
