Being heldI can see so much sky
Like an open mind
But I'm unable to float off into it
Weighted by old, unnecessary shame
Wedged in place by caring who cares
None of it matters

To My Husband
Being without you
is like the stars
without the moon
The hole I have in my heart
that's forever torn apart

The petals started to wilt and fall yesterday,

Despite my best efforts, they continued to die.
No amount of love and care can keep them...

A lonely cub separated
And abandoned by the...

EpiphanyReflecting its neighbourhood,
The lake water shone yellow.
Resembling a synchronisation of saturation
With the setting sun.
Seizing green colour of the grasses
The Sun painted them gold.
Gazed pines dance spectacularly,
Only awakened with Sparrows' chirps,
And Robins' melodious songs.
Perched on...
