flash of lightening
out at sea
rolling in
a quickening
rumble and boom
crack of thunder
louder, louder
raging storm
above
your head.

canopy of trees

cradled mystery
journey of love

canopy of stars
open Universe

mysterious path

Why the Hobbit

"Galadriel: Mithrandir, why the Halfling?
Gandalf: Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I have found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay... simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid, and he gives me courage."
~ The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Letting Go of the Story

I let go.
I let go of the story I keep trying to tell—
the one where, near the end,
someone comes to save me.

I’ve already learned,
in the most painful ways,
that I will always save myself.
It is my responsibility,
and mine alone.

So I let go
of that narrative where I remain
the little girl.

Now I am a woman,
and I choose to write
a different story.

She wore — a shirt of Football —
unthinking — in her grace —
I lifted — and the Secret —
stood waiting — in its place —

A number — like a whisper —
that called — my name in thread —
the day — that I was given —
yet ours — will go unread —

For Signs — can bloom in Silence —
and never bear their fruit —
a prophecy — half-spoken —
the heart must learn — to mute —

Leaving the Dead Alive

I am the worst murderer of all—
I killed my entire family,
but let them
stay alive.

There is only:
Happy Birthday,
Happy Mother’s Day,
Happy Father’s Day,
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year.

There is no:
I miss you,
I love you,
When will you come?

I dug their graves
and buried them deep in the ground.
They wounded me immensely.
I gift them
with my nonexistence.
