Stream of Consciousness

The Calm in the Eye of the Storm
Raindrops Transcend Memory Comfort In the Even Sound The Sky Is Gray A Blanket Telling Us To quiet down

Nightshades & Moonlight
I am harvesting moonlight with my teeth Because I have been starved of a harvest otherwise. Little bugs have eaten their way through my crops

Just To Go On Vacation
Eighteen pairs of underwear for only seven days? Do I really need all these? What, do I plan on having an accident in my pants twice a day, every day? I can leave some of these behind… on second thought… better to be safe than sorry. Throw them all back in. Shorts, long pants, sweaters, tank tops - never know what the weather might be like. After all, it could still snow in the middle of summer, right? WHY WILL THIS DUFFLE BAG NOT CLOSE!?!? Please zipper, please don’t break…

WAKING UP
It's 8 a.m. Have been up since five in the morning. Don't you hate it when you can’t go back to sleep after going to the bathroom?

Flowing Waters
a drop, turning to drops, and more drops, melting slowly from the frozen glacier // starting at the top of mountains i fall gathering strength and a melody as i go a mountain stream in joy leaping over small boulders on my way// where do i travel do you ask, it is to join the other mountain brooks on the way and falling together down the side of the cliff we travel onward to the sea//

I never thought...
I never thought.. I never thought about how my actions turn into Ripples That build into waves That crash like a tsunami into the world I thought was so stable around me.

I Am Sorry...
My emotions are all over the place. My mind is filled with a million things. I overanalyze everything. I can’t always appreciate the good things in front of me.

Once, with a mother’s vision, I could hear the squeak of cell division through the night air the humming of a tiny ribcage

Sunday Thoughts
It explores the beauty of slowing down and embracing the peacefulness of the present moment. Through vivid imagery of drifting thoughts, steaming coffee, and the gentle sounds of nature, the poem invites the reader to let go of the week's worries and simply be. It is a reflection on the art of being still, finding contentment in simplicity, and reconnecting with the natural, unhurried rhythm of life.

M'ass Destruction
I'll set in motion the machinations of mass destruction. Carnage thrills me not with the body count, but with the abruptness for which it changes lives. Lives cut short leave blank pages in the incomplete stories of the victims' lives.
