Sunny silkworm strands drip down the walls of my room Little sunshine strings of seeds, capturing stray specks of dust The light tries to digest them, but cannot Instead it coats them in its glitter Setting all the particulate sparkling, like gypsym crystal

Fairy Princess
Sparkles round the eyes betray your magic The way you sometimes hide it is quite tragic You put on a paper mask that’s meek But tonight pixie dust glitters on your cheeks Here’s no pursing lips or faulty frowns The pearly white tiara on your face, a crown With your lovely words you cast a…
Familiar Trees
I have never been here before, but I know this place oh so well. The ground is covered in pointy pine straw, fallen from their looming fathers. The sky high pines are the patriarchs in this neck of the woods. They grow up more quickly than their deciduous brethren, gobbling up all the sunlight for…
(Enclosed) Space
They’re paying me, but that’s not the reason I’m doing this. Someone once told me to try something new every day, and this is certainly new. I fill out the forms, glad for once I’m the average white guy. No metal implanted in my skin, no piercings or tattoos on my epidermis. Take off my…

They are where the future and past meet, and their meeting place is magical indeed. This was the end of a real adventure, so it was especially potent….
Magic Moment #3
Setting? Beach in Nicaragua on Ometepe Island, warm night, the Milky Way glitters overhead, sprinkling stardust to awaken the magic in us. Music? My friend is playing his guitar, worship songs, songs he’s written, sad songs, happy songs, beautiful songs. People? My teammates, 22 of them, I love them all, and they love me. Moment?…
