Taste the Fire

When I reach to fill the void,my body meets me with a voice—low, certain, not unkind. “Not like that,” she says.“No more covering me.No more mistaking numbness for peace.No more pretending to feed what you won’t feel.” She does not scold.She does not shame.She stands in her fireand waits for my truth. So now—when that

Self Expression

I am that birdat the top of that tree, over there,chirping and singing. And yes,there are countless other birdsin all the other trees—each offering their gifts this day. Yet I wonder—do they understand my singing?Do they like my songs?And does that really matter? Because I must sing, anyway.I have denied it for too long.I must

Storms of Emotions

Storm clouds rolling in—all consuming.They dominate the sky,like these emotions dominate me.There’s no escape.Lightning strikes!straight to where old buried hurts reside.They begin to surface under the rain.under the tears that beat down,exposing them completelywhile eroding the old protected landscape. It seemed to come without my choice.Me, trying to walk through life half-conscious,avoiding what gives life
