Imposter

Confidence and Cockiness,
brothers in thought and yet
strangers to one another.

To All the Hearts I've Broken Before

I've been many things.

First,
Last,
Temporary.

A placeholder,
A threat,
An other.

I've been a salve and a soothsayer
~ Magic and Illusion ~
a luxury you cannot afford.

I've been many things.

But I've never been yours.

Rinse and Repeat

Fear not, little one;
You will weave love into hearts
as big as the sky.

For the Record, On the Record

Side A: overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted.

Side B: grateful, patient, and humbled.

The Shame Sticks to Your Bones

The art of breathing
escaped my lungs, I forgot
I knew how to scream.

Snooze

why.

am I awake.

when the sun. 

has not risen from its slumber.

Pier Reflections

Deep breaths led to sighs;
I forced air into my lungs
searching for quiet. 

~ Until next time, Seattle.

An Education

Notes of warmth and lit reviews,
an undercurrent of locally sourced
community discussions and latte art,
a smattering of coffee and tea
leaves you wanting more.

Value

I know my North Star,

It cuts through uncertainty, 

But do you know yours?
