morning geese-
this horn section
breaking dawn
fallen petals
so alive
in moonlight

A heaviness inside I wish I could stop focusing on
I notice
A blast of heavenly redwood and faded embers deep in my nose
Skin tingling
One sweet memory of childhood
I notice
A trail filled with fallen leaves
Faded sunset
Still alive under my feet
I notice
Deep breathing as I keep pushing-
Pushing through the slight dryness of my tongue
A chorus of feathered singers chime along
To my heartbeat
I notice
A delicate touch of a small fern
Its vulnerability clear to me
A tiny voice reminding me to trust
I notice
Broken-
sticks, leaves, and fallen trees
I release what no longer serves me
I notice

After a wonderful get away with my guy and returning to lots of fantastic time with family, I feel a happiness that fills and radiates through me: A love that feels so whole, so magnificent. I give such thanks to the universe for these moments.
summer night-
a crescent moon’s smile
wider then mine

cicada song
I change
my perspective
bougainvillea
tipsy from champagne
and his kiss
dragon statue
a lost childhood
never protected
swaying palms
I forget
what day it is
pink skies
a heavy breeze
of wildfires

flock of blackbirds
I open my arms
closer to sunset
