walking

Sun peering through the forest and as she walked down the path, rays of light glinted across her eyes. Leaves lightly rustling and and breeze brushed against her face. In the morning, everything was quiet. She moved forward with soft steps, trying to be silent. She watched the world around her. In this moment, she…

moon guide

Clouds across the moon Transparent curtain  But behind the grey  a bright shining light  That radiates out as if to say Hi!  I’m here! Don’t forget about me! So that even in dark days  There it is Still as mysterious and luminous  As the night before Moon says  Sweet dreams! And watches over us as…

from a great height

watchfulness

There was a night when the girl couldn’t sleep, so she listened to the whispers of the forest. Her eyes watched within the darkness. She could feel something watching her and knew it was the beast who’d chased her until her lungs felt like they were bleeding. The beast’s eyes glowed deep withing the forest….

a poem for the sky

between the light of evening  and the darkness of night blue sky whispers pink clouds that can barely be seen and the gulls flap their wings keep moving against the cold breeze and the wind picks up and swirls around you i see golden edged grass bending low i smell wet earth that sinks as…

these flowers 

inside my ribcage contains millions of flowers just in case you were wondering it’s this neverending field that is covered with fresh rain dew drops sit on petals  rolling off when the water has collected to the bottom  each flower is dusted with pollen and when i breathe  bees are like “hey wait there are…
