Your heart hides its power You didn’t listen, so it slept And you think the world Feels like this? You don’t even know What you’re capable of feeling You don’t know how Your heart can race You don’t know just How high it jumps You think you have dreams? Your heart has dreams your dreams…
Please
What a terrible darkness has fallen in the midnight of my soul. I walk a valley. I crawl a valley. I lay in the pitch black on my back hidden in the tall grass. Invisible. Broken. Weeping. Seeing only the stars above and crying out to them for mercy.
Awakening
Water spray on your face. Blackness. Salt in your mouth. Sounds echoing around. Blackness. And then movement. Sight? Blurs… Slowly they resolve to blues and grays. Water? Sand? A sense of self lags behind sight. You become aware that you don’t know who you are. You become aware that you don’t know where you are….
Setting Sail Again
It is autumn again. I spent the year lost at sea. I’m waking now. Having finally broken free from the island and its lady that held me. Calypso, your singing enchanted me, your beauty captivated me, but love is never gained forever without the kind of freedom you do not yet know.

Electric Whirlwind
You blew in like rolling thunderclouds Playing games with my sunbeam shrouds Broke my barriers and split my sky Crackling peals rolled on by You gave me such a wonderful show You wisecracked, we laughed and so It was hard to see you go I knew this is how it had to be The universe…

Here is another poem from my journal that I wrote years ago: I saw darkness spread beyond its gates And flow into the world of light. I saw pain descend from its perch And cover the lands of peace. I saw evil spread its wings And stretch its shadow over us all. I saw all…
Abandoning Abandonment
I hear him weeping. I know he is curled up on the floor. I stand outside the room – he can’t see me through the door frame. My heart fills with his pain, remembers his longing for love and the emotion he didn’t know to call jealousy. I recall all the insecurities and fears swirling around….
