Why Can't You See?đź’ś. Content Warning.
October is many things, but the most prevalent to my heart is this: Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Whether it's parent's abusing children, or partners, the scars, trauma, and pain echo all the same. I, was a victim once upon a time as a child, as an adult, I've been very blessed in my relationships. However, it has made me extremely guarded and not fully trust anyone in my life, occasionally including my husband. Join me in spreading awareness!

Prophetic
The color of sheep the fields today, your glance remains—silent then I notice the deer run. A villanelle would appear to me to be a lot like gossip—you must be careful what you repeat. We often stare for hours at nothing. One thing I noticed, there is never a long shadow when staring out over the ocean’s calm timorous sunsets. I wrote a poem by hand with vermillion on a piece of manila, I could barely read my own writing, you held it high against the sun, waited for it to eclipse—together we often stare for hours at nothing. One thing I noticed, shadows get long late morning and early afternoon, starting in October they persist. The color of sheep the fields today, your glance remains—silent in the air the thin scent of marjoram, all spice cools in an open window a hunger, I step into the field today.

SEARCHING
SEARCHING I’ve been through life, through ups, through downs, I’ve searched in squares, I’ve searched in rounds, I’ve never found that single thing that’s missing, Even when I sit there reminiscing, Something somewhere just isn’t there, Something from my heart that says I cared.
