Be like,
Persephone,
Walk into darkness with flowers as your shield.

Be like,
Aphrodite,
Grant your loyalty to nature.

Be like,
Icarus,
Dare to touch the skies.

Be like,
Achilles,
Always remember your duty.

Shy crowns knocking gold together
Old earth resting for the span of a lifetime, barely a moment.
He says, ‘Doesn’t it make you feel insignificant?’
And you have to silence yourself, can’t respond to how incredibly wrong he is-
This is only the surface. In all the design of the world, at this moment, you are more significant than you ever have been.
Your being and breath feed this place. Everything else has been immaterial, if this is all you have ever done, if this is all you do, the very word to describe it is significant.

I am a poet's poem
but was never a choice to be taken.
Never be an option. Let them choose you because it is you.

Heaven rained on me,
I breathed in the petrichor,
Bathed in the downpour.
I have sinned,
So destroy me,
With your rain.

Silver heart
When you hear hero you think of people like Superman, Supergirl, Batman, and Spider-Man there are so many stories about how they defeated aliens and robbers but what about firefighters, police, doctors the army and many more why aren’t there any stories about them I mean they save people everyday but they get no fame no headline so we have to remember the hidden hero’s because they are our hero’s
From far deep between
She soaks the world around her
With waves of sweet fire
Haiku
