I grieve a place that exists But I cannot go back to It is no longer A place for comfort Where the smell of bacon Wakes me up Alongside sounds of the mourning dove The rays of light Streaming in through the windows A day of fishing by the pond With some fishing line And whatever else we found laying around Making crafts in the kitchen And pressing forks Against the peanut butter cookies We made from scratch Or picking berries behind the house To add to our morning cereal The beautiful day Prompting me to take a walk in the forest To a garden made just for me The sound of trees in the wind And a sky full of the brightest stars The only place in the world I could be outside forever I grieve a place that exists But I cannot go back to- A place Where a wild soul Was allowed to be untamed

I grieve a place that exists But I cannot go back to It is no longer A place for comfort Where the smell of bacon Wakes me up Alongside sounds of the mourning dove The rays of light Streaming in through the windows A day of fishing by the pond With some fishing line And whatever else we found laying around Making crafts in the kitchen And pressing forks Against the peanut butter cookies We made from scratch Or picking berries behind the house To add to our morning cereal The beautiful day Prompting me to take a walk in the forest To a garden made just for me The sound of trees in the wind And a sky full of the brightest stars The only place in the world I could be outside forever I grieve a place that exists But I cannot go back to- A place Where a wild soul Was allowed to be untamed

A deep sorrow for The society we have become Because yes I felt that he deserved it That he spewed hate That he was harmful. But A society With so much hate Even from me That I could hate a man so much To be pleased with his death Both political spectrums Fighting each other Telling lies He is a liberal He is a right wing extremist Both sides Being told a story So we just keep fighting And ignore the true minority So small They only make up 1%

The Fall of Society

A deep sorrow for The society we have become Because yes I felt that he deserved it That he spewed hate That he was harmful. But A society With so much hate Even from me That I could hate a man so much To be pleased with his death Both political spectrums Fighting each other Telling lies He is a liberal He is a right wing extremist Both sides Being told a story So we just keep fighting And ignore the true minority So small They only make up 1%

Where do you find the light When they have snuffed the flame out of you I look to others But the flame is gone in them too Nobody knows warmth anymore Where is the light Is it truly gone I remember when the sun shone on us all Perhaps We are learning to exist in the dark

The Light

Where do you find the light When they have snuffed the flame out of you I look to others But the flame is gone in them too Nobody knows warmth anymore Where is the light Is it truly gone I remember when the sun shone on us all Perhaps We are learning to exist in the dark

I used to feel them everywhere- The spirits. Felt their watchful eye. Warnings from a divine animal, A hello whispered in the breeze, But now- Now I feel nothing Like a part of me is not working. It is so quiet. It is so lonely. I cannot tell Who has left who.

Spirits

How scary it is- To realize None of this is truly mine. Not these things, Not this life. Time is my master, She owns it all. I cannot keep any of it.

My Master

He fell in love With the brightest star In the sky. The way she glowed Just for him- A celestial deity Shining down on him As he worshipped at her altar. She loved him too, This human. He made her laugh With the things he would say. He made her feel worthy With the way he worshipped her, But The human man was broken. The brightest star in the sky Watched the human man Walk in the shadow of his past trauma- A constant onyx cloud Hanging over his head. The man was beautiful. The man was so loving. The man was broken. Night by night, The celestial deity provided light To the man she loved Chasing away each shadow as it came. The light leaving her, She became dimmer on each night- Giving pieces of herself To save the human man from the darkness. One summer night, The celestial deity Looked down upon the man Who in turn was looking up at the stars. He was glowing. The brightest human on earth- But he did not smile. He did not show love to his star. "Why do you not shine for me?" He asked. "I loved you for your beauty, But now I can barely see you." The star made an attempt To respond with a flicker of light, But it was gone. She had given it all to him. When she saw her love The next night, He was gazing with a look of awe Out towards the Eastern sky, And she watched with despair as He fell in love With the brightest star In the sky.

Bright/(Not) A Love Story

In the silence, I find every broken piece of myself Their sharp edges cut me until I bleed Forcing me to drop them to the floor- The pain too much to bear. Perhaps it is not worth it To repair the shattered remains of my past. The pieces on the floor Taunt me to try again. The silence here is deafening, And still I do not whisper for aid.

The Silence

In the silence, I find every broken piece of myself Their sharp edges cut me until I bleed Forcing me to drop them to the floor- The pain too much to bear. Perhaps it is not worth it To repair the shattered remains of my past. The pieces on the floor Taunt me to try again. The silence here is deafening, And still I do not whisper for aid.

She gracefully walked into the ocean Her dress flowing behind her Welcoming the waves, It seemed, As an old friend. She looked to the horizon- Smiling, As she dipped below the surface. When she disappeared, Some questioned whether she had drowned, But no, The Selkie had simply Returned to her home In the depths of the sea.

The Selkie

She gracefully walked into the ocean Her dress flowing behind her Welcoming the waves, It seemed, As an old friend. She looked to the horizon- Smiling, As she dipped below the surface. When she disappeared, Some questioned whether she had drowned, But no, The Selkie had simply Returned to her home In the depths of the sea.

Tonight I am 26 At a concert Standing so close to the girl in front of me I can smell her perfume And coconut shampoo- I am swaying with the crowd And the person next to me Has an expression of pure joy across her face Vibrant lights race across the room Revealing hundreds of people Who are feeling what I am feeling. We throw our hands in the air And allow ourselves to escape reality For just one night. Tonight- I am alive. We are alive.

We Are Alive

We throw our hands in the air And allow ourselves to escape reality For just one night. Tonight- I am alive. We are alive.
