the colorful calmness

It was the simplest thing, air balloons in a wide open space. Hundreds of colors in the sky and I just sat there on that empty soda box and looked up. Blue, red, yellow, green, white, purple, pink and all the combinations possible. You hear as they fuel it up, the flame makes such a distinct sound, the calmness begins.

2018

Almost half of the year gone by and I didn't dare post my wishes for 2018, I thought about them carefully and I just couldn't commit to carry such a heavy list with me knowing I'd get caught up in something and forget it all. 

I realize that thinking that just a change in the calendar year will change our lives is silly,  but it's also hopeful. So here I am, with almost half of the year gone by re-thinking what 2018 means to me.

another sleepless night

Middle of the night,
a sleepless one,
went outside,
sat on the ground,
it was so dark,
could barely make up a few stars.

Then that cloud went away,
the moon was shining,
like the chesire cat smile,
it grounded me,
I felt the roots grow from under me,
and I was starting be alright.

I was going to be alright.
