I left you behind
Free to disperse
In the wind and wave
To become one with time

Locked
Inside looking out
Many phases of the moon
Her last loving hug
Locked in with her memories
Grandma sheds a single tear
Time is most priceless possession to the elderly. So to treat them as if their time is “less than” or to prolong taking precious time away from loved ones is intolerably cruel. Instead of the elderly ”taking one for the team” let’s work together so that families can reunite and be whole again.
Wear a mask, socially distance, wash your hands. Let’s beat this thing before it is too late for your loved ones.
Loss
For certain memories
time stands still
and for a moment
the pain is searingly fresh
The loss makes you realize
what matters most
An aching reminder
of what it means
to truly love

Transitions
Life’s transitions
Freedom from this mortal world
Tears role down my face

Ashes
Cracks
Wherein
cracks reveal
spectacular beauty

Father
You and I always seemed to be
On the opposite sides of a bridge
Neither able to cross without it swinging wildly
Tension thick as humid gulf air
Impatience and disappointment our love language
You and I alike in so many ways
So sensitive we each tried to bite first
Both with a stubborn shell of protection
Curiosity for life’s most enigmatic questions our common ground
With expectations released, forgiveness our final passage

Island
Once upon a time
We came across a waterfall
Hidden deep in the woods
Where we splashed and played
Like giddy children
In the argent liquid pools
And let the cool mist
Spray diamonds in our hair
Our warm embrace
A safe haven
As if the whole world
Was just this place
At just this time
Our own private island

Heaven
No more dances
Around the sun
She is now
Back to stardust

Mother’s Day
Feeling vulnerable
The constant Mother’s Day ads
A new perspective
