Summer Night

0

A breeze is in my hair

And moonlight on my face

I’ve never found myself to be

In such a perfect place

 

I hear the gentle song

Of crickets in the grass

Another gorgeous Summer night

Will come and go too fast

 

With fireflies in the field

And bullfrogs in the lake

I wish that life would be this calm

Tomorrow when I wake

 

Still time will move along

As we fly ’round the Sun

And when we’re old and grey we’ll see

That time has just begun

Come Show Me

Come show me

Show me how to laugh and smile and sing
Show me how to dance to the rhythm of life
Show me we can be larger than the world
And still fit inside

Evolve

In honor of LGBT History Month, my latest blog post is a poem I wrote just after coming out to my family.


Each moment is brand new
My own life is constantly evolving
Just as the water runs downstream
Sometimes I flow gently
Then find rapids, crashing into boulders
At times, I must simply ride along
As I go blindly over a cliff
And go down the falls
I find a new place in life
No time to turn back
But only to look forward optimistically
Knowing whatever lies ahead
I always overcome
If I crash, I recover
And continue flowing toward my dreams
