Tonight, Today, The days before, Damp with melancholy. I know it is unnecessary to be able to describe all the thoughts and emotions that come and go, but in this moment I wish I could.

I suppose this is what they call longing A subtle yearning to dissolve solitude. I think of “him”, whom I have not yet met, Or here but slyly hidden in the shadows.

Like the feather drifting, seesawing, back and forth, fearing the truth when I hit... Continue Reading →

I caught myself today in the Autumn rain, Making due with all I've got today. I caught myself today in the Autumn rain, And the love I've got won't fade away. Tonight I am grateful for friendships worth missing, the comfort of fire, the optimism of sunnier days ahead, and the gift of staying in-... Continue Reading →
