Why I Read

I want to
wring the knowledge
from the pages
of the world

and absorb it
within my soul

so I may better understand
a sliver
of all
I do not know

The Calm Before

a dark blanket 
of calm
covers the world,

Nature is silent,
there is no birdsong,
no wind
rustling through the trees

what sound there is -
what light -
is artificial,

a storm is coming

Permission

give yourself permission
to be
your beautiful
imperfect
self
