Warrior Woman
May the stars carry away your fear and sadness
Hold on to what is good
May the promise of spring fill your heart with beauty
Hold on to what you believe
May hope forever wash away your tears and pain
Hold on to what you must do
May your stillness in this silence make you strong
Hold on to life
Hold on [...]

She reached with trembling hands
In the one direction
She knew she shouldn’t
Precariously she traveled
To the edge of deaths ledge
Desperate to feel anything
Craving his rejection
She raised her arms
As if to take flight
The ground shook violently
Breaking night’s silence
She heard the hoof beats
Coming hard and fast
Over her shoulder
Half beast
Half man
He snatched her away
From deceptions cruel embrace
With the key [...]

They don’t all float down here, as his mantra would have you believe. Some wrap themselves intentionally, in the dispirited darkness; fighting natures buoyancy that would raise them toward the light. He thrived on being the outcast, for he knew not how to fit; emitted false illusion, so as to sway opinion and perceptions. But [...]

You know you’ve reached the threshold, when you start thinking about your “things” and imagining what will become of them after you’re gone. All your personal little mementos that you’ve collected over the course of your life; meaning absolutely nothing to anyone who happens across them, but holds significance to you; even if that significance [...]

It wraps around me
Like a warm familiar
Blanket
Comforting
Soothing
Protective
It warms my chill
Eases my pain
Brings me pause
It takes me back
Holds me steadily
Grounded
Urges my growth
It is unconditional
Never ending
The one true
Constant
That always
Remains
It is priceless
Means everything
Can never be lost
Never replaced
It’s the one possession
I carry with me
From my very first breath
To my dying day
It’s my Mother’s love
I speak of
A love that will [...]

Echoes swirl
Through hallowed
Halls
Bouncing off doors
Inside my
soul
Meaningless words
Wrapped in
Illusion
A singular voice
Bent on spiritual
Intrusion
Bolt the door
Against his
Dark
Shut my eyes
Seek thy
Light

I see you suffering, and I wish there was something I could do for you.
I witness your pain, and my own heart aches.
I see you spiraling, faster each day; downward motion to nowhere land.
I wonder who’ll be waiting when you reach the end.
Unsure what led you to this path; you no longer walk, [...]

He could see how tired she was, that day he happened upon her alone in the café; and though he purposely took his thoughts elsewhere, ignoring her completely, he knew from her body language that he’d once known so well, there was something amiss; and he couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in [...]
