if I can’t erase
maybe I can overwrite
forlorn solutions

lessons in living
harmonize in full measure
accept and transform

run over and through
unequivocal chaos
until that step back

imagination
gentle giants steal my breath
and gift new visions

forests change to flames
so too do I, but I rise
phoenix from ashes

treading a fine line
illuminated pathways
amalgamation

endure the cold fogs
sunshine will much sweeter
life is a teacher

silently drawn by
all the things my eyes have seen
knowing there is more

synchronized dancing
bending light and winter winds
their sweet songs echo

turn back the clock’s hands
refuse to hide behind smiles
do you know yourself

clasp on to courage
give it a resting place here
I am almost there

winds ripple and storm
balance of calm and discord
grounded I remain

navigate me home
sweet vulnerability
clean smoked vanilla

frayed my mouth open
trying to hide all the words
i can’t say aloud

sincere fear at times
doubt my capability
to love, and be loved

set for my daydreams
all there’s left is to arrive
castle in the air
