We build them and we break them,
we climb them and we paint them—
and yet it seems unclear:
Which of these walls are real and which are
illusions in far bright corners of our minds?
Walls
The Leader
Bursting forward with best intentions,
you lead by example.
Peak through the rain
some days the weather makes my thoughts hazy
Remembering this moment: Confetti and McCartney
This Moment inspired by Amanda Blake Soule at soulemama.com
Morning on the Allegheny
View from our balcony at 7:15 am.
Blue Skies
NYC: You are wild, frenetic, spontaneous;
always surprising and challenging.
Those panic attacks I have when we’re together?
I feel better when I remember to look up.
Wings
If we had wings, would we know how to fly?
Today…
I want to be the buckle on my shoe
or a yellow mum in the vase by the table.
I want to melt into one of the stripes on foreign
fabric and live happily surrounded by the other
woven colors without a care in the world.
Grey areas
anxiety or anticipation
billigerence or benevolence
truth or lie—
sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference
Thoughts after the rain
Wet blades of grass, you wear the rain
like magic crystal balls in the sun.
Tell me, what is the future?
