Oh, how my heart still bleeds in hidden woe,For youth once vibrant, stilled in sorrow’s night.Thy vibrant smile, now distant afterglow,Does haunt thy dreams and dim thy guiding light. What torments clouded that young earnest brow?What words, unsaid, might yet his course have swerved?Would kind outreach have mended, couldst thou know?Or was his tragic pathContinue reading “Thy Memory I Keep”

In the vast expanse of blue,A shifting tapestry of moods—The ocean speaks in tonguesThat only the quiet heart understands. Tidal pulls, like synaptic firings,A dance between moon and sea,Neurotransmitters and thoughts—Ebb and flow, push and pull. Surface calm belies the currents below,Waves whisper to the shore,Are they murmurs of peace?Or cries of a storm yetContinue reading “In Storm & In Stillness”

The waves advance, the waves retreat,Upon the shore where horizons meet.With each crest and trough, the ocean sings,Tales of time and ephemeral things. The sun ascends, casting golden hue,On waters deep, of cobalt blue.Yet, as day turns to shadowed night,The moon takes charge with silvery light. Fishermen cast, with hopes held high,While gulls above theContinue reading “Siren’s Call”

Upon the western edge,Pacific’s gray whispers fierce,Waves relentless and bold,Mysteries concealed in mist.Nature’s secrets etched deep,In rugged cliffs and trees. On the opposite shore,Atlantic’s gold embrace,Basking in warm sunlight.Tranquil, vivid beauty,Harmonious, timeless sands,A haven by the sea’s edge. Worlds apart, untamed, wild,Gentle, serene unique tales,Timeless under vast skies.

The darkness that encroaches upon the corners of my mind is a relentless adversary, one that makes me question my faith. I often find myself in quiet moments, tears mingling with my fervent prayers, begging for relief, forContinue reading “Ch. 11”

The battle against anxiety is waged in the trenches of the mind, a relentless conflict that stretches from one heartbeat to the next. It’s a war without a clearly defined enemy, a shadowy adversary that seems to emerge from the depths of your own thoughts. But let me tell you, I refuse to surrender. IContinue reading “Ch. 10”

Anxiety, my relentless shadow, a phantom that haunts every corner of my existence. It whispers insidious doubts, painting a bleak future in my mind, where torment is the only constant, and the only relief lay in death. I grew resigned to the idea that I was destined to be forever tormented by this relentless beast.Continue reading “Ch. 9”

In the stillness of the night, I confront the tempestuous shadows that have wrapped their tendrils around my soul. These unseen forces challenge the very core of my identity, leaving me to ponder, “Am I losing my sanity?” Each morning, I confront a reflection that seems both familiar and foreign. The face that gazes backContinue reading “Ch. 8”

In the dimly lit corners of my mind, anxiety lurks like a relentless foe, a shadow I’ve tried to outrun, but it always catches up to me. Like a broken record, I’ve played the same song of desperation with the hope that one day the tune would change. The tune is not changing. It’s beenContinue reading “Ch. 7”

In the quiet moments when the world stands still, I find myself tangled in a web of guilt, like a spider ensnared in its own creation. It’s the guilt of inheritance, of passing down more than just genes to the most perfect of all of God’s creations, my daughter. She is beautiful, she is unbelievablyContinue reading “Ch. 6”
