A Dream of Rain

iPhone 5 shotDon’t listen to the empty drone of nature’s agony, or the soft cadence of rain’s sorrow.

A Nation

iPhone 5 shot These worries swimming inside a busy mind carry no shifting weight, the fulcrum centered between burden and effort so all outwit gravity’s tendency and hold steady at each fixed point, adjustments made at center for it is not locked down – it is not threatened.

Beginning

iPhone 5 shot In this morning light, you were older than those years scrawled on calendar pages turned and forgotten. You looked at me with hair strewn about your head, straw spun by sleep and dreams, and your eyes said, “I will get older. My skin will stretch and my muscles will grow, my shoulders […]
