Oregon I'm a dreamer. Deep thinker. Lover of all things in life. / I breathe in the intricacies of life and breathe out expression. / I write rhythms of the heart and bare vulnerability through the written word. / I seek to express in such a way that hearts are moved by emotions of connection and resonation. / The world can be a far better place if we express in love and vulnerability.
Leather binding, open anew Blank pages, something new Words unwritten, of you Here you are, here you are, Blue gate, walkin’ on through Seeds planted, affection grew Each blossoming, time will come soon Here you are, here you are Hold me a little bit longer Hold me a little tighter, tighter Adventure waits, at the door Streaming through the want for more Each breathe brings new lore Here your story twines in mine, in mine Turn the page, seek my soul Hear my heart beat for yours See the promise to sore Hold me a little bit longer Hold me a little tighter, tighter Hold me a little bit longer And turn the page To something new

Hold Me a Little Bit Longer
With the whisper of the wind, the words gently sting the very fiber of who you are and who you hope to be. The whispers coil and whirl as you filter the sound. The time in life where influence is of the essence. Where words shape and disfigure our being. A time in life that shifts as you blink. As friendships fade in and out, some as quickly as they came. The stories take on a different color as the days pass. As some things are left to be, we can only stop to see. Here we are. Chasing and dreaming. Seeking and seething. On the floor of our rooms we cry out and sob, but the daylight breaks and soothes the calls. We arise to greet the new day, but often it feels old. As if on repeat the day comes. Sold to the rhythm of the society we take part in. The movements of the day can feel rigid. The steady beat of expectation . With sighs, we walk in anticipation of a better tomorrow. Perhaps not realizing every day is a gift. Neglecting the reality that we can choose to live better than what is expected of us. With genuine words we can choose to see beyond what has been given. To give far more than we thought we could. With words that challenge one another to be better. Words that pump the heart back to life. That make life worth living. With every step we move forward, we have a choice. We can walk forward or we can continue to look back. There is nothing left for us from where we came. Even after hours of words exchanged, the past is still the past. And should be left just as that. With genuine words we can only hope to guide one another forward. To lead with our hearts open to new possibilities and trusting of new relationships. With eyes looking forward we can see a better future. A future of living what we speak. Guided by conscious and social causes we see clearer. Genuine words whisper in the wind, but only you can choose what you hear.
