remember me?
fragrant first bloom
on thorny pedicle
purest petals, unfurled
remember me when the wind
whispers you away

Spathiphyllum
from amidst the lush
fair lover of dark places
a lily that is not a lily
flame-like spathe raised
in fickle surrender, peace
in season, ever fleeting

I live in the city and work in an office from 8:39 am to 5:00 pm…or later…



…but my true place in this world can be found midst the trees and the misty hollows, near bubbling streams and on the shores of the sea. This is where I go to reconnect…










we hide in bubbles
existence, isolated
chiming in with those
who fancy our delusions
safety is an illusion

Reaching
how high is the sky
its bright cerulean dome dappled
with orbs, stars, and clouds
some dreamers spend
a lifetime trying to
crack its elusive ceiling
