Sometimes we do not know what it is for what we seek, or even if we are sure we want to find.

This poem evolved from a trip to the trash can. That's right! I went through several emotions and feelings as I had been cooped up in the house for a few days with 2 sick kids. This poem describes the elation I felt just to be outside and to experience the sun's kindness. It also describes the fight against greed. The feeling of wanting everything the sun had to offer but being satisfied with what I was giving.

After all, isn't admitting our own faults one of the hardest things in life?

This was written on the occasion of the latest Presidential embarrassment. To be fair, I put myself in his shoes, and rolled back 307 years...to Salem Village.

This poem is about centuries of religious intolerance that has scarred the souls of an entire people. It is about the hope of reconciliation.

This poem is about a particular astrological sign I think readers will guess what sign it without the poem ever saying the name

This poem is about how sometimes animals can be the best friend you've been looking for. Most people don't take enough notice of just how much animals devote themselves to our services. They don't understand how much love and protection they provide for us ALL. Animals are the most loyal living creatures ever made and why some people don't see that, I don't know. I am just one of the many lucky people who do see through their sharp teeth and long hair. When I see animals it is a natural reaction for me to want to show the affection that they are always willing to show us.

This was inspired by an attempted suicide of a friend's teenage daughter!

Some one reaching out for a feeling they want and for some reason can't have or find.

Everyone feels this way sometimes- when the world is not treating you kindly and nothing seems to reflect who you are. This was written at a time of my life where my whole world had been flipped, scrunched up and thrown in the bin; I had lost several people very close to my heart, I had lost my job, I had no direction in my life and I continuously felt that I was wandering around in the desert with no water and no guide. This poem was born when my deep feelings suddenly sprung forth and I was able to get them onto paper- sometimes feelings are feelings that words just can't express.

This is a poem about how I feel when I write poems in my journal.
