Beautiful fluttering wings
Underneath a shinning sun
Teasing the next adventure with you
Toward tomorrow's
Ever eager embrace.
Ready to face what's next
Following your steady wing beats -
Love abundant on
Your special day!

Author's Note:
This poem was written for my mom on her birthday this year! We've always shared in birthday celebrations as our birthdays are only a day apart. I figured this year I'd write a poem just for her. (:
I'll be back to a more consistent upload schedule once Valentines Day passes!

Seed of Glass
I knew you were different from the moment my eyes of flame met your eyes of glass. They reminded me of the chimes at the market. The way their multicolored surfaces caught and refracted the light would bring such joy to even my most mundane of days.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
