Favorite Quote:
" All who wander are not lost." J.R.R. Tolkien


My mind is an open sky

Painting constellations through stars

That seem small to the people looking up at them

But in reality are larger then life

Blanketing an infinite sky I am so damn afraid of getting lost in

I am armed with a map and compass

With a pen in one hand

And a spider web in the other

The map leads me into galaxies

While the compass spins in every direction

With my pen I hurl my words into space

Hoping they will be caught by stardust

But

There are never enough words to complete the puzzle pieces running rampid through my brain

I keep the spider web to catch the words

Before they spill secrets from my mouth

Within my silence I weave tapestries

The threads cascading through the words I speak

And the words I don't

As my sky paints the constellations

I am still travelling through.

The words that we don't know how to say and the secrets within ourselves we have yet to discover.
