I have a spaceship inside of me A time machine too As you create a thousand waves of stress out there I step inside Close the hatch And transcend *I began meditating for the same reasons everyone does – to destress, calm down, health benefits, becoming more mindful. But there is something else, somewhere else, […]
Travel takes me to a time and place which doesn’t exist During my everyday existence Living in that space Thinking from that place Giving myself the grace to grow Consider potential instead of limits Picture my life without the regular me in it I expand effortlessly And I can’t shrink back So I must repack […]
The bluer the sky The bluer the sea I dwell in the sliver, in between And I am not blue Not even a bit I drift on the tide Breathing *After my morning spent snorkeling, I sat watching the water change colour in tune with the sun sparking in and out from behind clouds. As […]
