like a pebble in your shoe. A morning without the dew. Sand between your toes. A dull ache that forever grows. Loneliness that burns brighter than the sun. Heart, mind and soul eternally a pawn. Each thing of beauty, a constant reminder that we are not a skillful finder. The moon, stars, a flower thatContinue reading “It feels-“

Look what you made me do?!
Woke up late! You wouldn’t let me sleep. Talk, talk, talk all night long. Look what you made me do! I jumped to the ceiling, spilling coffee on my favorite shirt. What’s got you in such a great mood?

Watch the rain
Watch the rain Do you ever just watch the rain? Does it make you sad? Does it cause you pain? ~ Are you filled with a longing? A piece of the puzzle is missing? Is your soul within you groaning? ~ Does the gentle patter of each drop create calm? Dragging you to sleep? OrContinue reading “Watch the rain”
