The coo of a dove,
gently wakes me from my slumber,
I dreamt of laying near a babbling brook,
accompanied by a good book,
hoping the right direction is hidden somewhere in these pages.
The morning light,
lightly lifted my eye lids
asking me:
“Hey, are u ready to start the day?”

A silent thought that now demanded my attention.
The universe knew exactly how to reveal this to me.
A problem that I fixed had finally released me from its bind.
I was going home.
The road hugged my tires like excited friends reuniting,
Usually a 7 1/2 min walk, stretched to a 13 min run.

My sons laugh, where his eyes close and he reveals a smile that heals every wound that’s ever been afflicted,
For the woman who has always been in my corner even when I was circling my darkest days,
For the abundance of energy that I curate and the way my attitude has shifted,
For my parents who worked hard and showed me…read more
You are a man who:
wears his beard fully,
not because he’s handsome but because uncle sam, doesn’t have a say anymore
A man who embraces that hint of wild man that he is
A man in the woods, only answering to the birds call
A man who knows not the name of every tree but all of their essence
A man who isn’t afraid of alarms anymore
A man w…read more
Standing at a crossroads and I find my bones feeling lazy,
a vision towards my future but the road is hazy,
I always pour out to those who don’t realize that I’m giving them something sacred,
They let it spill over like the blood of the natives instead trying to save it.
So now I want to save myself, it was a happenstance of a chance , I tol…read more
I want to be that guy that you can be free to speak your mind to, you can lean on all the time.
I want to be the mirror that helps you see yourself clearer, that encourages your true self to get a little nearer,

Or I help the world value the person…read more
