Discouraged 

Look above where you’re going
And believe you can fly

I keep searching for answers
Trying on different socks for size

Instead of kicking rocks ahead
I’m wishing for someone else’s life

Simplicity translates, and its staring back at me:
Stupid, take your own advice

But then I’m left defeated
Already familiar with my set of lies

A Life Obtainable 

A window into ever after,
Witnessing from afar, a life
Where forests grow,
Oceans lap endlessly
And desires are still
Encouraged, sought after
And dreamed.
A place where faith,
Comes first, as our
Initial breath, while
prairie grass bows
Towards wind, steadfast.
Homes are full of heat,
Not just from bread baking,
But from love honest
and complete. Endless
Work, and time to pause
Deemed important,
Yet over time, has been lost.
