You pulled my arm. Told me not to go. In that twilight hour by the river. That riparian zone where time and land and water blur into an unfinished dream. But I would not listen. Pulled away from you and your common sense. And I’m wandering still. #vss365

I hold on for moments of joy
Washing in like broken ice
On warming tides

I skip from one to the next
But the sea between is too vast

There are no auroras here
No seaside Ferris wheels
Only bare night & eclipsed moons
Where #poetic stars have gone to weep

When we were little, I wanted to be the older one. Boys, driving—you did it first. When we grew up, and youth was a shiny prize, you wanted to be the younger one. Candles burn on my cake. For the 1st time, I’m older than you. I smile, imagine you #laughing in the stars.

Our culture’s ethos withers under expanding greed. How scary. How sad. That the dollar sign is what really distinguishes humans. #vss365

your presence
awakens the nakedness
of my subconscious mind
I utter your name
and I notice a sudden change
in the way I see the world
each stroke of your wings
bring celestial dream
for once
I feel
I have the strength to heal from within

Sadness. Happiness. Sorrow. Joy. Emotions that are all part of our journey here. Honor them. Feel them. Grow steady with an honest heart—to yourself and others♥️ #ThinkBIGSundayWithMarsha

Somewhere amidst
The chaos all i remember
Is the depth of my love
Are you petrified to fall?

Maybe it's too deep
To fall in love, Emily!
To fall and rise in love
Soaring into eternity

Now all of the scars
Turn into dazzling stars
Lighting up the voids
Of our interstellar space

If these #CME ’s catch up to one another on their 93 million mile journey towards earth, this incoming #geomagneticstorm could be a significant stress-test for our communications and electrical systems. I’m unplugging electronics this evening before bed. CNN

Before dawn
Curtains still half drawn
In bed where I belong
Hearing roses wrestle with a faun

Light soon
He chooses,chews the blooms

Dreams shake me

Mt. Olympus casts a shadow
light of the moon
Beauty so
sure, sweet

Pan's flute
#whistle s
wakes me
takes me

Friday Thought:

The world is more malleable than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape.

--Bono, musician and social activist (b. 10 May 1960)

Find her by the river. The archae boulder she sits on speaks of time. Time that flows in front of her, time that floats back thousands of years. She is relieved to be reminded of her insignificance. #vss365

'Don’t Let Yesterday Take Up Too Much Of Today.' -Will Rogers

our conversation
became an archaeological site
with the bones of a sphinx in sight
the surface descended several parallels
towards the equator of insanity
we passed through the chaos drain
and then
the silence
our hands clasped
by the feeling
of having unearthed ourselves

Happy Friday from me and ⁦Literary Revelations Publishing House⁩. Let’s feed the birds. Love to everyone ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, I’m always the one who jumps up whenever there’s a sonic boom (thinking it’s an earthquake), the one whose nightmares linger into the day, the one whose own made-up scenarios seem all too real. Ah, but the life of #Anxiety 😱
