iridescent landscape

Standing on the top of the hill looking out  and it’s endless waves of euphoric iridescence  glimmering in sunlight light sparkles you don’t know if it’s sky and you’re standing on a cloud or wind blowing grasses in fields that stretch endlessly  or the glassy transparent blue sea you look out from a mountain a…

they don’t know about the fire

they don’t know about the fire within they don’t have the dreams i do they don’t know about how far you can go through the pain they don’t know what you’re capable of they don’t know about how finely well-chosen words can mean the world they don’t know how to sit in silence  they don’t…

to my love

i want to tell you  how much i want to sing  jump shout out to the world  how much i love you and i’m not afraid of what they say or complexity i’m not afraid of the confusion some may have over  little things that we know you see  because deep down  we all know…

looking at the water

we sit out and look at the water as seals sun themselves  on pointy rocks yet totally comfortable  seals look over at us blinking hey what are you guys doing?  they seem to say we step into the water and it’s so cold that we have to laugh we stand on millions of little treasures…

there’s a place few know about it’s a special place where sound  echoes into forever it gets etched into time it’s a place where you can shout at the top of your lungs you can tell the world anything in this place and voice reverberates across land across water it echoes and barks back at…

moving like a cloud

imagine if you could move through the world with no fear  no hesitation  that every encounter made you stronger more nimble imagine if you didn’t worry about what people say or what they think or if you’re pleasing someone  imagine if you recognized parts you didn’t like about yourself and they disappeared that they were…

storm

you underestimate us you think you know  but you don’t know you get over-confident but we stay working  stay building  you try to trick us make us think we’re not capable  that we have no choice  that we will be ruled by fear and hate but we are not we know how to survive  we…

simple things

this is a poem for simple things like counting to 10 or finding a penny it’s about alarm clocks and tissue paper it’s about your favorite bag or finding an old receipt it’s about tripping over a stick that is not very big and laughing at that it’s about the glitter that some sidewalks have…

favorite song

favorite song comes on  static electricity  and the people that know say yes hands outstretched to the sky lights turn to blue flash to magenta now’s the time for your best dance moves or sometimes you just sit back and smile arms laced in back of your head close your eyes nod to the beat…
