I miss you like the sun longs to behold the earth and touch it with bright, warming rays when the gray clouds no longer block its path 💛  I miss you like the once verdant forests and meadows miss the longer, warmer days of summer before winter covered the land in snow  💛 I miss…

I feel like I’m falling like the floor below me is suddenly giving out as if I’m on the precipice of a cliff  and the rocks under my feet give way I’m grasping desperately for anything but my hands fail to grasp a hold of something and so I fall ~ I feel like I’m…

The rain has just concluded late, on a Sunday afternoon although that may deter others that is one of my favorite times to run along the creek by the woods near my home in Colorado 🌧️ The trail is deserted the creek overflows onto the path I breathe in the cool, moist air it is…

The headwind is merciless and yet I still stumble forward cursing it, hating it, wishing it would change directions, why is THIS the way I have to go? ~ I squint, not able to gaze directly ahead tears sting at the corners of my eyes from the fierceness of the wind onslaughting my face ~…

Baby blue fading  into darkening violet  layered with plush looking pink white clouds aloft wispy and dwindling the blue sky above still barely lit  for the hazy sun  has not yet exited  by dipping below  the steady horizon one last display  of pastel colors before night pulls  her dark cloak  over the painted sky. ©…

~I didn’t know your name  but it kills me all the same~ 🖤  a life gone too fast dreams that didn’t get a chance  cut violently short by a killer with a gun 🖤 empty desks half written papers water flasks overturned pencils askew 🖤 in the cafeteria a cheese sandwich left unfinished milk growing…
