A little bit of Poetry
A foundation of strength prevents a weak house.
A voice, a pillar, a moment of time all shared through the power of a story.
Just one lifetime.
Left behind we will revel and climb to higher places. We didn’t have to start from the bottom.
I can leave a greater foundation for the next generation.
Eternally grateful – Constantly smiling.

Two standing, one fallen.
Two proud, one now lacking the power to stand tall.
Against the backdrop their position could not be clearer.
Two understand that one day, one day their time will come.
Until then- the two will take advantage of each opportunity, ray of sunshine.
No one wants the final fall to be made in vain.
Alter recipes,
Have someone else stir it up,
With trust taste evolves.
Just write.
Put the words to the page-
Don’t read them once you finish the sentence.
Go on, move forward take them at face value.
Complete that thought whether it hurts or feels empowering.
I thought I knew it all that everything made sense. I didn’t expect for my understanding to spin out of control. Surprisingly I am grateful for the new awareness as the page is flipped to the next chapter.
Fallen but its beauty only changes.
Gone is the prestige of standing tall and proud.
It’s replaced by an understanding that there is an opportunity to give back.
From a new perspective the view of the world doesn’t change but what can be offered has changed forever.
It is empty yet filled with thoughts.
It was limited by walls but not by a ceiling.
I am unique among structures of conformity.

A scary journey,
to love without restriction.
Quickly my path fades.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last gasp of the day ruptures the sky.
Only here, only now.
Let’s not think of tomorrow.
The month when the color is finally
stripped off of everything.
No more protection only
foundations remain.
What summer secrets will be revealed
for everyone to see?
HIKE. BIKE. DRINK.
