Breaking Spring

After Matt Hart 

 seems like a good way to say
I spent all last week feeling helpless
and talking about it in terms of not being

I was starting to lose hope
that the sun had abandoned us
It's easy to focus on the cold
when you're surrounded by snow

the buds are blooming
and like the leaves on the trees
I shed my layers

I wander and am enchanted by vivid colors
Ruby Red, Blushing Pink, and Vivacious Yellow
My heart is full

the warm sun illuminates my skin
and I feel human again
I'm alive
               I'm alive
                               and I breathe

The bees are creating new life
right before my eyes
they're humming a sweet serendipitous song

I bask in the warmth of the present moment
The bees, the birds, the trees speak to me
Blissful and freeing
Who has time for fatigue, has time for peace

Let's Pretend

*A story I wrote for my college Sophomore English Creative Fiction Class - My first ever attempt at writing fiction* Let’s Pretend I often wonder what life would have been like if everything went according to plan.

I was only six and he was eight, but his front left tooth was missing so he looked younger. At first, he didn’t want anything to do with me. He probably wouldn’t remember, but when my ball first rolled into his yard he kicked it back so aggressively he only missed my head by a hair. It wasn’t until I walked up to ask if he wanted to play that his face softened and my heart dove into those eyes. It was a brisk Autumn day, bu...

Story Time: Goodwill

"but what if it doesn't come true?" "Ah, but what if it does!" My entire life I've been an avid thrift shopper. A lot of people don't like to have to hunt to find clothes they like, but for me- that's all apart of the fun. Some people like the risk of gambling at casinos, some with stocks, but my gamble is whether or not I can find what I want for under $20 at a thrift shop. For instance, for the longest time I was searching for a bomber style jacket that could keep me warm during the blistering winter in Flagstaff, AZ. I searched high and low at retail stores but couldn't justify spending $60+ on something that I didn't LOVE. You know what they say, when you know- you know . Anyway, nothing at the mall spoke to me, so I wandered over to Goodwill.  I hoped that they would have the jacket of my dreams, and sure enough in the "Men's" section I found the leather, warm, and cozy jacket I had been searching for. Of course, i...
