Butterflies & Centipedes
Falling in love is a scary thing.You never notice until it's too late.Water drips and sends ripples, some feel like storms of thunder and others like waves- lapping at your feet.Your heart begins to beat again- well it always beat, but you forgot it's rhythm.And again you listen to it's gentle tune.Around him it beats … Continue reading Butterflies & Centipedes
Angel’s Tears
The sky fills with clouds a warm gray, the Sun tucks away, blanketed behind His fluffy comforter.And cold droplets fall down like angels' tears, rejoicing for renewed life.Grass blades drown out, soaking up each tear deep within their roots. They grow tall, reaching towards the sky, singing and praying; praising His name.Flower petals drip cold … Continue reading Angel’s Tears
Time & Trees
Leaves fall off the trees, raining down like rubies and diamonds beautiful in all their color.Time passes and the trees sit bare, stripped of their splendor and dormant til spring.Time plays its roll, a harbinger of life and death, bringing with it the ceasing of winds and the gentle brush of new breath.We fear it's … Continue reading Time & Trees

A Coffee Mug Full of Tears
The heart beats.Slow and rythymic.Tears drip down sorrow strown faces, filling up their glasses.A coffee mug full of tears.One might call it weak.One might call it broken.But a coffee mug full of tears is a heart full of emotions.Every heart beat; each pump pump pump through your veins is a drum of strength.Man does not … Continue reading A Coffee Mug Full of Tears
One Might Call me Weak
One might call me weak. I not only have fears, I have crippling mountains! When I feel the glaring eyes of the monster under my bed my legs feel weak, my heart beat quickens, and I feel the insufferable urge to run. One might call me weak, and I can definitely say I agree. If … Continue reading One Might Call me Weak
