The waves hit harder,
the closer you get—
I learned the sea doesn’t care about your longing;
it will take without warning,
pulling you under,
because you thought you could stay dry
and you may drown,
or you may rise,
but either way,
you’ll never return the same.
Beneath a silver sky, so still,
The forest whispers, soft and chill,
Where moonlight kisses every tree,
And snowflakes dance in quiet glee.

A silver veil on earth is spread,
Each flake a dream where light is led,
A thousand stars, within their flight,
Are mirrored in the snow's pure light.

Soft candles flicker, casting glow,
On blankets of untouched, quiet snow,
And in the stillness, deep and true,
The spirit enraptured, gazes through.

For this is a moment far too sweet,
Where time and soul in silence meet,
A requiem in the glow of night,
A prayer, a peace, a soft delight.

May it linger in the mind, the eyes,
A tear that speaks of moonlit skies;
For beauty like this, pure and deep,
Is a light to stir the soul from sleep.

And in the silence, soft and deep,
The spirit stirs, begins to creep;
Drawn upward by the moon’s soft glow,
Where dreams are born, and secrets flow.
Not exactly floating
not completely sinking
I have reached a place
where there is no conscious thinking,
it’s a liberation
to be free on the blue and wide
just a piece of driftwood
taken by the tide
you are far away
Yet i sense you within  me
that's power of love
10/2/2024
The wind tears at bones,
Leaves scattered, forgotten flesh—
Roots choke on their grief.
I always knew this was coming,
but still, I fought it—
like a moth drawn to the flame,
not out of choice,
but because I was made to burn.

The flame flickered, promising a release
I couldn’t name,
and I chased it, desperate in my hunger,
pretending I had a chance,
knowing deep down it was never a choice—
only the inevitable path to surrender.
