Driving Force #wwwblogs
It was never comfort That drove me No soft dream To open the door But a pain That never subsided Until I ruled it And created it The screaming lungs The pounding heart The burning in all limbs Until the pain Submitted And admitted defeat Beneath the fire Of my drive And my desire - … Continue reading Driving Force #wwwblogs
Return
I miss sinking Into weightlessness: That drift into silence As chatter Is drowned out By the water. And my body: Dangerous as a knife Cutting through The surface. A firing engine All propulsion And swift Forward motion. I miss That feeling of balance: Finding grace Like a dancer Once I step Off from land. Breath … Continue reading Return

The problem there … Continue reading Sometimes You Can Do Everything Right ~ #MondayBlogs
Badlands #MondayBlogs

Adventures #wwwblog
There is a world waiting beyond the borders of what we live each day An expansiveness to fill the lungs and set the heart to overflowing It begins with nothing more than a single thought, nurtured into a dream Until that wishful moment becomes a plan, and a plan becomes action A single step, a … Continue reading Adventures #wwwblog
