Some words arrive
too quickly, and you struggle
to keep up, to write them down.
Or remember; thoughts you
can’t hold back, these thoughts
you cannot take away.
Not all pencils need erasers.
Not all mistakes can be erased.
Still we write, and still we try
to express, to love, to believe
and communicate.

Curiosity inspires.
Visions flash,
sounds sparkle, ignite,
spontaneously combust.
Imagination on impulse,
intuition essential.
My attention is fleeting, but
can be held indefinitely
by shiny objects
and opportunity.
Big thoughts or simple wishes.
As a child
they called me
a daydreamer
like it was a bad thing.

Our belief system is as much a foundation, as it is façade.
How you act, how you react, how you interact with all that surrounds you, is primarily influenced by what you believe.
Beliefs can prop you up, or you can choose to hide behind them.
Beliefs can change and, when they do, you will feel the shift.
Outwardly you may appear stronger, but the foundation can weaken.
Change happens beyond appearances.

We count days like shadows
now behind us. Dark and cold.
January gone, February now,
it seems to happen on its own.
Everything. All or nothing
gained or learned, or lost.
What do you remember?
If you don’t want to talk about it
somebody will. They always do.

Speaking less than
we listen, talking
only to fill
silence,
we misinterpret
misunderstandings.
Never saying
what we mean,
meaning less and
less and less
until
we no longer
understand. Nor
do we try.
