unfiltered

there must be more than just a screen
no matter how large it is
still just a screen
like a filter
to view the world through
a tiny sieve.

i'm so tired of staying up late
and scanning a feed
instead of nourishing my soul
or embracing my love.

I need you.
it's hard to admit.
and harder to explain
but I think we could be so beautiful together
and I miss you with all my heart

so glad you're alive.

Ingwaz and Uruz

Standing tall,
Ingwaz leads,
victorious
without violence,
a conqueror of peace.
Strong in body,
heart and soul,
Uruz never falls
although he toils
long hours in the hot sun.

wading

the whole world is rushing
so why not take our time
slowly explore ourselves
no need to jump right in and swim
when we can dangle our feet in
and wade leisurely
feeling the water swirl and curl
allowing ourselves to dream and beam
