"We Never Walk Alone"
November 2012
Maybe we would meet in a little coffee shop downtown as we escaped the rain.
We'd get to talking and sit by a window so we could watch the people walk by with their colorful umbrellas. We would end up talking well past noon, through the afternoon and deep into the evening. I would stay late into the night, listening as you told me your story. I hope it would be almost as if we'd been friends forever, yet we'd be unacquainted enough that you'd feel comfortable telling me things you'd never told anyone before- little things that no one ever cared to know.
At the end of the night we'd go our separate ways. We would probably never meet again, but I'd like to think that one day, that day when everything tells you that life isn't worth it, that you aren't worth it, that's when you would remember that some girl at a cafe bought you tea, sat down and just listened. Someone listened to the story you hadn't even told yourself, and by doing so reminded you that you are greatly loved and so worth it.
In this world where time threatens to drown everything in it's path,
Hope comes in knowing that you never walk alone.

"The Great Unknown"
September 2012
I quietly watch the sun
As it sinks into the crystal sea
Something awakens deep inside
A voice that says, "Remember me?"
Do I? Do I know this quiet voice?
As I listen it becomes so familiar
And slowly I'm able to recall.. that...
This is the voice I hear in my dreams
The one that calls me late in the night
And whispers in the early morning
The voice that guided my younger heart
Encouraging me to climb the trees and seek the sun
The one that lead me over creeks on fallen branches
It danced with me along cliffs
And spun me through the swaying grass
This voice of adventure is like an old friend.
And now it says, "Come with me and chase the sunlight"
... It's rather reckless, really... But I feel completely safe
The sound of freedom beckons me
And for a moment I see the world through different eyes...
The broken shackles that I've tied around myself
The trail of broken thoughts behind me
I see the world I unknowingly love in,
And the places I've hidden from even myself.
So... Why not?
Why not let the water carry away these chains.
Oh, to be careless and free..
To swim along the reefs and rocks
To find things never found before...
Maybe I've ignored this voice for too long..
Declined too many invitations to dance..
But still I hear it now, as it captivates my heart again
Saying it's never too late.
And now, as I dive into the deepest uncharted water
I hear... "Surely I am always with you"

"Misunderstood and Forever Alone"
September 2011
Shining down to light the world,
Her only reason to be known.
The moon shines completely bright,
Though misunderstood and forever alone.
In the rich darkness,
Her brilliant rays pierce through.
Like longs spears of silver
Slashed through dark blue
Power, grace and love,
She will always shine.
But mistaken as a beacon,
To flaunt her beautiful design.
Floating up so high above
In a place all her own,
She finds no peace, hope or love...
For she's misunderstood and forever alone
The clouds come and go
She finds no friendship with men.
The stars all laugh at her light
Will she ever find love again...
They take her love for granted,
Or maybe it's just her...
Perhaps nobody truly feels
And she's only delusional.
The sun comes, stays then goes
Leaving her heart with a burning thirst
Maybe she has found a love
Or is she forever cursed?
... To be misunderstood and forever alone

"Deeper Than The Sea"
June 2011
Deep and blue, her eyes stare out- under and over the endless sea
Below it's surface are mystical things, unknown, un-adventured and free
Long brown hair with sun kissed streaks flows down her back
Her long eyelashes and perfect form, is there anythings she lacks?
Though any who might see her would be enchanted by her beauty
She does not feel equivalent to the other gorgeous many
Never do her emotions show, for she does not even show her face
She hides it under the rough blue surface of her secret place
She observes the people on the shore from rocks way out of sight
Water droplets sticking to her skin gleam as they reflect the light
Her heart cries.. She longs to be like them, to walk around with legs and feet
But she is restricted to the icy water, land is something her tail will never meet
Though she may be different, her sweet heart would make others melt
Her beauty is both inside and out, if only she'd believe in herself

"Summertime Freedom"
April 2011
Summer breezes blow through the grass
Whirling your hair every direction
Summer sun kisses your face
Leaving a sweet red complexion
Summer warmth hugs you
Each time you walk out the door
Summer rain dances with you
Who could ask for more?
Summer always brings swimming
And long walks in the park
Summer days leave starry nights
To stare into after dark
Summer brings lazy days
To hang out with your friends
Summer nights bring crickets
To sing when the day ends
Summer brings sweet tea
And reading under the sun
Summer comes with lots of things
But most of all it's fun!(:
