These lines
on my face
convey much more
than words
could ever say,
In every laugh,
every tear
it is written
that life is
more than some
fluid interplay
of randomness,
I've long
felt trapped by
the confinement,
have grown
accustomed
to the cool
indifference
of its glass,
Like a child,
so many times,
I fogged it over
with breath
and etched a
message for
some savior
to find,
But that savior
never came
and the hands of time,
they continued so
persistently in their
sweeping revolution
that now no time
remains to succumb
to sameness,
The realization
of a dream
appears only
when it is meant to,
always written
in beautifully
bittersweet form.
The biggest
surprise of
my life
was just how
easily that
glass shattered.

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.
Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
