coast~


Been in this spot
How many times
Life spinning
Round the clock
Here we go
Another ride
Another place
Disappointed
Another disgrace
Heart is heavy
Lungs deflated
Everything anticipated
Soft lips
Clenched jaw
Worried faces
Pain in stomach
Empty spaces
Eyelids close
Remembering much
Aching for your loving touch
Passion
Drive
Whirlwinds
Surprise
This reflection
I despise

“….Hello?...........Hello?......”
I’ve sat in a meditative state for hours allowing you to say whatever need be said to the "adult me" and to the child within. I'm open to hearing even the harsh truths. I’ve wondered what it’s like to stand next to you as grown daughter alongside grown mother~
Woman to woman!
I sing often and on rare occasions I believe I’ve felt your smile. 
I whisper to you (nearly) daily.
I’ve closed my eyes so tightly and sat for so long that my sit bones ache.
My sons have sent you messages with balloons; I hope you have each one because I’ve told them it’s how you’ll greet them. It’s been nearly 20 years since you’ve passed on… it took me touching your frozen hand to know that you were really “gone” It’s a feeling I’ll never forget. When one needs guidance women often turn to their mother….
Today I turn to you
Without a compass
Without an idea of where you are
“……hello??..........hello?...” .....

Fly or Fall. Fall or Fly~


wishing air was beating life into flight
on tattered wings of the lil black bird
grayer skies, little direction,
so much desire, so little affection.
heart on lifted wings of hope
all the emotions built up in smoke
lil black bird don't go there
it is more than heart can bare
can't pretend smoke won't kill
concrete heart won't ever heal
let it beat
let it fight
let it open up tonight
one must open eyes to see
the beauty that life can be.
