Far too often
do people assume.
They fill in the blanks
with random adjectives
not bothered to confirm just presume.
A word search of miscommunication.
A volcano of emotions erupt
from boiling speculation.
It races too far from the truth,
fueled by noxious misinformation.
It’s spiraled into chaos,
one way train in the wrong direction.
It never needed to go this far,
yet it’s a simple road to prevention.
Get the real answers and ask for truths,
don’t be afraid to need clarification.
Don’t build a fight based on fibs,
like some anxiety ridden mad libs,
when it can all be worked out through communication.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
