I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. – Louisa May Alcott

I’m Broken

By the ocean,
before the night.
I broke, from missing you.

If something is wrong, fix it now. But train yourself not to worry, worry fixes nothing. — Ernest Hemingway

Journal Entry # 123 – Women Too!

A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Past Eight

Whistles silent,
brews stress pinched to the nape.
TV flickers black and white but can’t turn it off.
Frozen mittens dry from the blessed heat,
brings sweat with no one to blame.

Mumbles first, like there’s someone to fight back.
Then, the knee goes,
not worry, just wonder.
Past eight…

…old lady’s not home.

Forgotten Notes

Let me sing to you, my daughter,
so I may make the strings of your heart,
play music that’s in between.

Journal Entry # 122 – Plant Those Trees

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

That Song

I remember that song.
Every note just for me.
Sweet melody,
aimed straight toward my heart.
Our souls in tandem with the music.
I’d bathe in the cast of your light.
You with that grin.
I’m there sometimes,
when I go back,
for a listen…just for me.

Journal Entry # 121 – Be Yourself

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
