Tide

What will the tide bring in?
What will it later reveal?
Like time,
it won't keep waiting.
Like love,
it can't help but heal.

My boss uses a vivid phrase: it's only when the tide goes out, you see who's not wearing trunks.
Makes you think.

Speak up

A clipped voice,
slips noise-
lessly
into
the fray.

Yellow
and shaky.
Bland, I know.
I hate to
Say.

Butterfly
in a storm,
normally deep.
I crack,
lacking wingspan.

Headcave retreat.
Feet save
my mouth.
Because the wrong
thing ran.

How public speaking feels

peace

I’ve swam the seven seas, till I almost drown.
I’ve broken my heart so many times that I finally lost count.
I’ve lost my way somewhere beyond the trees.
If you could help me find it….
I’m looking for peace.
