  • Self portrait

    Before you say who I am,I must first find myselffreedfrom the bad adviceand flattering applause,of sideline voicesand those inside my head.Cross currents of agendasand wind-chilling judgements.To reconcile inward discordand outward appearances.This is not for the faint-hearted,assailed by the unrelenting elementsof wind and tide,until all that is leftis,what remains.Only then can Ibebe- comingme.

  • The Dreamer

    Said the Dreamer to the Darkness “I am not afraid”. For by the night I can see a horizon light years and beyond. Said the Darkness to the Morning Light “Welcome”. Knowing a dream is only a dream until it is seen by the light. Said the Morning Light to the Dreamer “Wake up, We […]

    Before the first light of morning, when only street lights notice, a world in waiting wakes, as darkness is bent towards the light, shadows go indoors for fear of being seen. As one set of blinds open another closes like sun shades, this fierce yet healing light splinters, reach deep into the souls shadows, terrifying […]

  • The invitation

    Come with me and stand before the dawn, let us be still, without words and wait, wrapped in the blanket of darkness within and without.

  • Blessing Time

    As the days line up one after another outside the door of tomorrow with hours sorted and stacked in piles of do’s. May you know how to count the preciousness of each moment and not live the next before all of life is extracted from the present. As interruptions come in every shape of the […]
