(written last month)

demands the whole of my focus
when my eye is called toward tall, regal trees
that gently lean
outside my window
reluctantly at first, then deeply bow

Awaiting my Reaction

Half chewed, spit-laden sneaker
heel side up,
poised on the floor before me as I walk in the house.
A prize or a punishment?
Signs of Things
October 17th, 2010 — Randomness
I’ve been (very) recently inspired to construct a sign post at the bottom of my driveway to display frequent messages and thoughts for those driving by.

Creating My Own Mantras

How easy can it get?
Write more love letters. Give up toxic people. Look at the stars. Claim your own mistakes. Do work that matters. Each lesson is simple… yet only four words.
