I love the soft moments in life When the warm wind tousles my hair The old breath of the earth ruffling the locks on my young head When her gentle fingertips touch mine as our fingers meet and seek to interlock When the bobber rests on the surface of the calm pond, just before the…

I Love You
Three words that are rarely spoken, but often wait on the tips of our brains Yearning to leap down into our mouths and out into their ears Three little words, that so often we hold back in fear Fear that they will not echo back to us Fear that the ears they fall on will…
Vocal Pacifism Is Confirmation
Sometimes people talk too much Sometimes they do not talk enough Often times they are silent when they should speak Often times their tongues are tied in fear Every time a child falls and not even a word flies to catch them Every time the downtrodden are trodden down and innocent bystanders stand by It’s…
Venting, Burning, Destroying
Venting Today I had to vent to my friend about what this she did. Yeah, I have to vent a lot about this or I’ll get stressed out. I can’t believe he said that, screw him, he sucks. Oh venting. How I hate you. I have very strong feelings about venting. Do you know why?…
Falling Asleep
Falling asleep is a lot like faith, and it’s a lot like fear Every night when I lie down to sleep I know what should come But I never know what will Before me stretches the deep expanse of the night With all the unknown dreams Or nightmares I sit there on my bed On…

New Wave

Itching Scars
I wonder, what does healing really mean? The scars on my arms and legs still itch from time to time They remember the bad times in stress When the sun’s hot gaze glares on them When the deadline is drawing close and not enough is done When something rubs them the wrong way Likewise the…
A man asked God a question, and you WON’T BELIEVE how God answered
Recently, I have found myself talking a lot about the story of Job. I really love the story of Job. I love it because it teaches me about God, it teaches me about humility, and it teaches me about myself. Let’s review the gist of the story. First: Job was a good guy, everyone loved…
No Words Unsaid
Words whisper in and out of existence Rolling around in the flickering dots on our cell phone screens Flying into the trash as the letter is tossed Falling to the ground as they are muttered under the breath Rattling on the keyboard behind “________ is typing” Digesting in the stomach as they are swallowed back…
The Ouroboros
Answer the call Knock on the door Go in Shake hands Sit down Drink tea Eat chipati Preach love Hug necks Leave Ride the bus Get on the plane Land at home Answer the call Shake hands Sit down Drink hot chocolate Eat hot dogs Preach love Hug neck Leave
