Shine on
Life, it is a gift that not all of us cherish, and few protect. It takes a special person to fight for what is right and for those they love. Because life is a journey. And there’s no shortage of off-road terrain on the way to being a defender of your family, of your community. It’s a labyrinth in the dark with no GPS signal. One where all of your fears fight you on one accord in almost perfect synchronization. You feel as though each obstacle that comes your way tears you down. But they painstakingly make you the best of us. Eventually you, without noticing, take your greatest setbacks and forge them into your greatest weapons. And all of a sudden you start to see little bursts of light to walk toward. And you take whoever is within reach by the hand and lead the way through the maze. You are a hero.

I'm a Stranger to Love
I'm a Stranger to Love is a work that tells a story that expresses our longing for even the simplest affections. It expresses our innocent envy and every day struggle to be seen in the way that we see others, and want to see ourselves. It is not hateful. It is an observation of what is within our reach but not yet ours. It is the love that we won't always be a stranger to.

Bare Branches Breathe
A breath of fresh air. That is what is definied by this poem. Vibrant instances of color bring life to lonely trees. And in the wind their song sings sweetly a story of what was, what is, and what will be. An admiration of a youthful glow, that coerces the beauty around to shine with it. It expresses how freely love takes us by the hand and dances with us in the breeze. And as we bask in the moment, that we wish would last forever, we breathe.
