You Won’t Remember Your Christmas Gifts
When you’ve had as many or more Christmas Eves and Christmas Days as I have, the gifts you’ve received tend to run together. I was thinking about this today while trying to remember some of the best Christmas gifts I’ve ever received.

A Wound Far From Closure
This is equally a love letter to my mother during her Sagittarius season and on her birthday as it is a letter to others to keep the memories of those we have lost present. In grief, I have learned how to internalize those random pieces, these truly glorious parts of my upbringing. Of my parents' authenticity. Things I should never forget. For my mother (and father), I will live in a way that honors and inspires others to remember those who are only gone in form, never in spirit.

What A Girl Needs
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. In her room, it was designed to be a baby girl’s dream. Mystical creatures and lettering lined the trimmings of the walls the parents purposely designed to avoid a pink color scheme. Each wall had different particular earth toned patterns. Perfectly coordinated mixtures of Forest Green, Midnight Blue, Desert Sand, Canyon Brown, and Rich Earth filled the space to make it a special world for her to get lost inside. Visual entertainment from floor to ceiling, with pictures of significance framed accordingly. All her soft stuffed animals were arranged from biggest to smallest in different corners and play areas, and her bookshelf had wonderful fiction and non-fiction tales. As she grew, her bookshelf would rotate in complexity, length, and interests of her own so she could never be bored or out of choices. Her crib was custom-made, and designed to be the most comfort a baby could ask for when resting. With a beautiful crib mobile that spinned gingerly above her head. The sheets and blankets were minimalistic, so they weren’t overly stimulating. But, purchased based on their stitch count and material that were used to make them. There was almost always a sound of the ocean, wind, and quiet tones flowing around from the noise machine. Occassionally, you could even hear an audiobook reading or a classical song being played.

Blue Heart
I've never submitted my poetry or let anyone read it. I've always written for myself, to release the sadness of the moment or express the joy I'm bubbling over with. Today I was scrolling Facebook and I saw the entry ad for a haiku and I thought, why not? What do I have to lose?
