Intensity
September 1, 2026 I used to think that love should burn,A raging fire at every turn.That if it didn’t shake my soul,It couldn’t possibly make me whole. I learned to measure love in ache,In sleepless nights and hands that shake.In racing hearts and stomach drops,In desperate starts and sudden stops. Intensity became my proof,A lightning…

The First Step
Morning arrived quietly. The storm had spent itselfsometime before dawn,leaving only the slow rhythmof water slippingfrom leaf to leaf. She opened her eyesbeneath the old treethat had carried her safelythrough the longest night. For a while,she simply listened. The wind no longer howled.The thunder had wandered elsewhere.Even the birds,once frightened into silence,had begun again. She…

The Storm Between the Trees
August 3, 2026 The woman wandered fartherthan she had ever dared before. The familiar brookhad long since disappeared,its gentle song swallowedby towering pinesthat stood like silent guardiansbeneath a darkening sky. She searched for the pathshe thought she had known,but every traillooked like the last. Then came the wind.Soft at first.A whisper through the branches.Then stronger.Until…

The Quiet Forrest
July 30, 2026 She woke where the moss embraced the earth,beneath a canopy stitched with emerald light.No voices called her name.No footsteps lingered.Only the hush of leavesbreathing with the wind. She lay there for a while,waiting for the ache she had carriedto settle upon her chest once more. But it never came. The chains she…

Consequences
July 28, 2026 Each choice we make, both small and wide,Leaves footprints where our hearts reside.Though time may soften every scar,It cannot change the marks they are. I cannot beg the tide to stay,Nor wash the things I’ve cast away.No pleading voice, no whispered plea,Can rewrite what has come to be. You placed your trust…

One day at a time
July 26, 2026 Tomorrow waits beyond my door,A place walked many times before.Yet now each hallway seems so wide,With nowhere left for me to hide. I’ll wear my name upon my chest,And pray my trembling heart finds rest.I’ll tie my hair, stand tall once more,Though grief still washes to my shore. Perhaps I’ll hear your…

Three Meetings
July 12, 2026 There is a quiet tale that’s told,of kindred souls through time enrolled.That every heart, if fate agrees,meets a soul three times with ease. The first encounter drifts on by,like fleeting clouds across the sky.Its meaning hides from eager eyes,beneath the hush of small goodbyes. You cross each other’s winding waylike distant stars…

Freedom of Falling
June 18, 2026 There was no fear.Only sunlight. A bridge stretched across the sky,high above water so impossibly blueit looked borrowed from another world. The kind of water that invites youwith its glistening depth and endless secrets. I stood at the railingwatching the waves breathe below me,feeling the distance,feeling the height,feeling the impossible spacebetween where…

Resilience
They say that pain leaves fingerprints,that trauma marks the soul,that broken roots and shattered homesextract a heavy toll. By all accounts, I should have fallen,lost somewhere along the way,a ghost beneath a bridge at night,sleeping through the day. The odds were stacked against melong before I understood.I learned that life could wound a childbefore it…

The Inheritance of Survival
Why is it that when someone dies, we feel compelled to bury their ugliest truths alongside them? We sweep their failures beneath the rug, polish their memories until they gleam, and tell stories that soften the sharp edges of who they really were. The day you died, a part of me died with you. I…
