Flowers
These flowers are growing again in my head and like a vine they neither swoop nor swing– they cling to each side of my brain, try to determine what type of learner I am but either way, thoughts can’t be pushed out of the way so I’ll plan out another day to pluck and prune.Continue reading “Flowers”
Morning Commute
Take your hand off the door and take a step with me. Flex your eyebrow while your side eye grants me a grin– did I say it again? “I like you,” and all those messy thoughts aside, “I know you,” or at least I want to. My steps feel lighter now thatContinue reading “Morning Commute”

From what I have taken away fromContinue reading “A Lesson on Father’s Day: Listen and Love”
