Poems
Fragments of song, prayer, and poetry.
An Offering
I have nothing left / to prove.
The Quiet Before
Before the prayer / there is a breath.
What We Carry
We carry the weight / of who we were
First Light
I woke this morning / before the reasons came—
Ready or Not
I don't know / If I'll ever be ready
Some Days
Some days are impossible to put down. / So I pick the day up.
Almost Unnoticed
A day passes. / Almost unnoticed.
Lines Blur
Lines blur / Between what is
When Silence Sings Back
There are times / when the words go quiet
I Found Meaning in Poetry
Words that share my soul. / My thoughts.
Present Without Presence
It does not arrive. / It seeps.
The Lightning and the Dark
Some truths arrive slowly. / Others come like lightning.
Love Is
Love is all there is / and it’s all we are
The Sky
The sky / Bathed in crooked light
In Stillness
In stillness / Our soul moves
For My Sister Maria
My heart hurts / For you
Seasons
As seasons change / we never remain
Fate Is Not Fortune
Fate is not fortune / Fortune is not fate
What If
What if you could remember / The possibilities long forgot
Only We
There is no me / There is no they
At Least I Tried
It’s been a journey / It’s been a ride
Yesterday’s Door
One day / I lost my way
What Time Takes
Time took / my certainty
This Breath
This breath / is not a performance.
Still Here
After the storm / after the doubt
What Remains
After the striving / and the letting go
The Thread
There is a thread / that runs through all of us—
What the Silence Knows
The silence knows / what the noise forgot—
Lost and Found
I loved someone once / the way the ocean
We Dream to Remember
We dream to remember / what the waking world
