She followed the trail like braille.
She bound bending turns by feeling.
A long journey, kneeling and frail.

Was there always one cloud
in the sky?
Do the birds in one direction
fly?
Who can see beyond the shroud?

She left the footpath
And listened to songs
in the wind,
Toward the home
of the homeopath.

Arriving, no one there.
Time took a moment
to stare.

She must be out.
She must be there.

Beyond: a sign of being.
She must of left a note
for me to be seeing.

No one ever came.

But a dusty mirror shown:
One blind human alone.
Then, she was healed.

What is soft?
To what do we yield?
Can it speak our language?
Is the barrier translated beyond the breakage?

Just then, a birdie sat beside.
And, the bird and I need not share.
We just sat and stared.

Until it flew again.
And I wondered,
if both our minds were bare:

Could I be up there?

Stuck on blackened spikes
and under stormy seas.
“Let’s go for a hike,”
my wife said to me.

Her sliver of sunlight
breaks through my fog,
a sparkling invite
to go for a little jog.

On a bed of autumn leaves
and crisp wisps of dew
the trees us receive
while I from black withdrew.

What is love,
if not told to the heavens?
What I feel for you,
is locked deep in the ocean.
The more I know you,
the Deeper I go into your forest.
What I want is not empty,
like weathered plains.
It’s not murky nor dead,
as I step through your swampy past.
It’s whole and true,
as the smell of rain in April.
Its beauty is among the sun,
in spring.
All I want for you,
for us.
Is an adventure,
of love everlasting.

I open my eyes
to see a sun so bright
up on this mountaintop
I find a rock and stand up
I breathe in, as the dust picks up
the wind of life
carries my body away tonight
HII, I really want to go hiking :)
Hope y'all are having an amazing day <3
Of getting lost and finding ways

Hitting dead-ends

But treading along

With new found resilience

Strength of character

Delving into the depths

Of one’s core

Embracing the fall and the cracks

Soul searching

Gliding

Through each passing day

Well, ol’ boy
stood in the vista, a little lost
but feet finding the pub
nonetheless

that sun tried to make its point
which, though we acknowledged,
we tried to sidestep

clag mud added heavy boots
while loose, happy chat sat
in apotheosis

til a moussaka
and a couple of sublime fish dishes
let us sit down and rest

after miles
these muscles pretend to ache
