“…”vers libre,” (free verse) or nine-tenths of it, is not a new metre any more than sleeping in a ditch is a new school of architecture.”

“Our beauty unfolds, we become.The ones that truly value youAnd the pricelessness of your presence Will stick around to watch the full beauty of the sunsetAs they gaze through to your soulAnd feel warmed by your charmAs you unfold, as you become”

“Survive, because of the fire that burns withinIt sits inside you and melts through painAnd lights the shadows with embers of loveSurvive because your heart makes you greatIt beats the rhythm to your bones And sings lullabies to your soulSurvive because your strength lies in all you overcome It shakes you to lift you and take you bravely home”

“You cannot lose or choose to forget someone you loved Without first losing or denying a vital part of yourselfWe are all pieces of the same puzzleConnected by threads of loveEach a mirror to what we hold onto And what we let go of”

“There’s a beautiful sound you hear When you learn to drown out the noise and chatter from other peopleIt is you, the sound of your truthYour heart, your voiceUntouchable and loud with love”
