Perhaps the fork can feast on this tightrope ‘tween the broken plates. I stumble into the street, hit with false ferocity. A lesson in sight reading where truth tangles with lies. She is the teacher, I am the pupil, studying every line. A cinderblock wall on the verge of collapse. The floor begins to buckle … Read more
If you are in a storm, let the rain fall as it may, and know that a rainbow awaits you once the clouds go away.
When you reach the timewhen that light turns on,when you believe the self-reflection,what it tells you, what you see,I hope you find the help you need.

It’s no wonder it’s called the nervous system. Too negative. Too destructive. Too worried. About a state of mind that tends to takeover. A state I … Read more
A heart this full never yearns for something new, only more of what it already has. But a heart this full knows no greed, it knows to love all it has. Take it from a man who pleads for peace, but a man who can find himself lost on chaotic roads. I fought my way … Read more
Staring across the range from who knows how many feet high, sitting in the window seat. But I’m distracted by the pinnacle. A career turn ahead, I’m sitting in the drivers seat.
