A thin web of logic preserves
a glimmer that abides,
fragile threads holding steady
against the weight of night.
Despite the darkness of winter,
or how heavy the frost,
a quiet glow endures,
a beacon in our blizzard lost.
Through shadows deep
and doubts that creep,
this light persists, a gentle flame,
whispering of hope and dreams
that dance within the heart's domain.
Life is not some long charade,
it pulses with an inner truth,
a sacred rhythm beneath the silence,
an eternal light that will not fade.
In every shadowed breath of despair,
when darkness threatens to steal the day,
remember this: the light is there,
a quiet promise that won’t betray.
The stars above, though veiled by clouds,
still shine with ancient, silent might,
reflecting in our human shroud
the essence of enduring light.
For in our hearts and souls,
a spark of purity still remains,
an echo of the cosmic whole,
that guides us through joy and pains.
When the night grows deep and long,
and fear, so beguiling in its cold refrain,
know this truth, both old and strong:
there's light that always shall remain.

Be well and make the most of this day.

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.

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.
