Fields; 2011

Memories have weights-
some lie heavy on your mind.
Usually those sting.
Some are weightless,
they flutter,
they fly,
they move around.
Usually those make you smile.

I guess the host of such-
is in a journey,
a main character in their story,
a background character in another’s,
a bee in a hive,
a bird in the sky,
or a flower in a field.

I think, today…I want to be the flower
and I want my happy memories to carry me in the wind.

Mistakes; 2009

Spotless minds feed off weaker times.

It’s when you fall and trip on your own insecurities.

It takes a 10-year walk to walk off a 10-minute mishap.

Takes longer to fix

than to screw the nail of error.

It is courage that brings you to state any flaw

and it takes heart and human vulnerability to change,

to pick up the pieces and start anew…

though its nothing new.

It is the retelling of a later story.

When you take away the bitterness of everyday life

and let it fade into a memorable oblivion.
