Climbing Time
From below the horizon’s muted edge,where the earth softens its ledge,I begin my daily climb one broken rung at a time. It’s not that the sky’s too high,nor that my wings are made in Shanghai.The problem is that I’m preoccupiedwith my feathered quill’s stubborn battle cry; You’re running out of time,and will soon be calcified. ...I’m Quietly Flying Around
Up here,with my head in the clouds,talking to myself is allowed,without hearing the maddening crowd,and I’m free to be clever and proud Then, while I’m flying around,held in my cocoon of sound,the friendly and noisy Corellasenjoy chatting with this odd poet fella Editor: Erynn CrittendenWhat I Never Said
Each morning that I wake up, I’m reminded of how cruel my reality has become because you are no longer in it. My dreams are much kinder to my fragile state, because there, I can still see you. I can still touch, hear, and talk to you. My mind creates a thousand different scenarios where ...Power

Dreams are wonderful. They motivate people to accomplish things they never considered before. A person can stay on course if they continue to chase a goal. People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often tend to get into new hobbies or activities for a while and then drop them. This is known as hyperfocus. Ever ...From Across the Void
Once again, the eight-year-old me is standing under the mantle staring up at that serious, soft-eyed person in the picture. Sometimes, when passing through this room, I glance up and smile. Other times, I fear he is watching me as if he is judging. When no one is around, I return his gaze and try ...Dreams Change: Life Continues
Have you ever thought about the adult the younger version of yourself imagined you would be? I thought I would live in a London flat with my husband and at least a few children. My life isn’t anything similar to what I thought when I was little. Honestly, I was sad about that for a ...
