A Perfect Day

  A Perfect Day   I can’t be there so I might as well imagine it a soft breeze along a white sandy shore birds singing out beyond the bright horizon   sunlight on my skin so warm and comforting feeling the soft sand between my toes skipping smooth rocks across the water jumping in to take a swim   cool water brings the feeling of renewal laying out to dry off on the shore I...

Photo by Mattia Bericchia on Unsplash   The Dance   sitting by the lake I ponder about anything and everything seeing bubbles spring up throughout the water wondering where they originated from     maybe from a little creature like a turtle or a fish   I wished they would make themselves known and soon got exactly what I had wished   the turtles started circling...

         Running Away ~a poem~ Photo by Maxwell Ridgeway on Unsplash     I set you up and I’ll admit it I couldn’t take another minute in your presence with so much darkness deep within my soul     and so I sent you far away across the country right by the sea and every day  I hoped and prayed that you would always stay away    ...

Lucid Dreams Photo by Mikael Stenberg on Unsplash     incantations in the night like a chorus in my mind such a unique lullaby as I drift off into sleep   dreams of forests from new heights as I soar above the earth greeting birds who've taken flight my soul breaks free as stars give birth   I travelled in the sky and roamed 'til I no more could longer take this exhilaration...
