Flooded Waters
free form, free verse, freeform, love, Nature, NYC, photography, poetry, Well BeingIt was too easy;
the lies rolled off your tongue
like flooded waters.
Something once peaceful
and refreshing
now a messy nuisance.
The water expands,
the salt corrodes,
everything is damaged in its wake.
Be Kind to Yourself
freeform, love, Mindfulness, Nature, NYC, photography, Well BeingSome days, I’m not even fully sure what the human experience is supposed to be like. Why are we blessed with these brains that don’t serve us to our higher potential?Sometimes I misspeak words, overthink things, get distracted, criticize myself, worry, stress, complicate things, forget.
But I have to stay motivated, keep myself focused and remember to be kind to myself, because it’s hard. I’m no longer in my twenties and I think life is finally starting to break me down a little bit. Even though I try not to let it.
I have to believe that I can manifest greatness in my life, but I have to be an active participant; I can’t just wait for it to happen.

Gratitude
free form, free verse, freeform, Mindfulness, Nature, photography, poetry, Well BeingThank you for being you,
for unknowingly being a muse,
for cracking through my somewhat tough exterior.
Thank you for believing in me, for encouraging me to be more active about things I was passive about.
I’m still a work in progress, sometimes I fall off, but I think about what you’d say to me if you saw me slacking off.

A Summer Storm
free form, free verse, freeform, Nature, photography, poetry, weatherAn ombré of yellow into grey,
lightning bolts pierce the sky.
Flashes of light,
heavy water droplets thrown from the heavens,
clouds clash and the grounds rumble.
It’s a summer storm,
one of the best kinds.
