Two week wrap up
For the first time in well over a year, my folder for the month is almost empty. This is only the third time this month when I’ve sat down to spill my thoughts into the virtual page. My brain and soul have been almost too heavy, like the feeling you get when you’re too full…

Mondays resolutions
On a Monday, I make new promises Like January 1st, But every week instead. I make my resolutions; I’ll eat my veggies, run again. I’ll finish my tasks Then relax in the sun again. How I miss being 28 Maybe, if I worked harder On each and every Monday I could turn back the clock…

Time in my hand
Time is as fleeting as the sun, Chased away as the seasons turn I hurry and try to catch up Never quite grasping it in my hand What if I could stop time? Just long enough to right the world? Take a breather on the sand, And watch as the seconds pause I’d get up,…
