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…

discomfort 

It was a day when the girl was frustrated. She had been walking through the forest in the dry heat for what seemed like forever. Dried pine needles crunched under foot with every step. She was hot. She was tired. And a small voice inside her said you can rest whenever you want. Still she…

the beast who runs through the forest

Daylight.  Silence. Then, boom! A thunderous crash from the forest. The beast tore through the trees, hungry. Growling. Bearing its teeth and small animals would run. Hiding in the brush. Its ears perked up and from far off it heard something that it would be drawn to. Instantly running down the path. Barreling through without…

the moment when the sky brought them together

The light from the sky — sending purple mixed with the golden clouds — spread over the land against the fire sunset. It was as though an artist had decided to paint something overwhelming and at the same time utterly peaceful. You couldn’t help but be captured by the feeling that sometimes the world around…
