I am a happily married Mama of two awesome kids, trying a find a way to coexist within a world full of things I fear. Anxiety might as well be my middle name, but now I want to move on from this long chapter in my life and learn to live again, or maybe even for the first time.

Embracing the Night

    Embracing the Night   Mist rinses my face My skin feels radiant The wind kisses my hair I embrace the night   Once in a forgotten time I raced with lanterns they won I celebrated their glory as the brightness framed the night   The night calls my senses and hugs my being with closeness only dark can provide No hiding in the night for I am hidden already   I smile...

Too Late

    Too Late   The wind blows suddenly, and once again, change moves time, the Earth feels shaky, as I grasp onto anything within reach.   My heart cries out in silence, while people whisper and stare, wondering what could have happened, and how to clean up the mess I’ve made.   If only someone would have warned me, the suffering I had in store, I would have acted on...

    ~A poem about not having control over the uncontrollable~       No Control   I told the night to leave me, and asked the day to perish as well,  yet seasons and times never listen.   Time still moves no matter how much I plead.   So many days, I begged for tomorrow not to greet me, and begged again for winter not to arrive, even tried to will the...

Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope that you are having a great week and are staying safe out there.
