shameless book promotion time! on we go with ‘a distilled spirit’ from 2018.
there’s a story written on every face but few take the time to read them. even fewer know where to begin.
start in silence. ask the bartender for a drink. then sit. expand beyond yourself. then draw in that energy…
‘a distilled spirit’ is available on amazon for your reading pleasure. link is in my profile. if you enjoy it, please indulge me the favor of a review.
peace!
today’s selection is:
‘the tree’
her face was riddled.
dug into her cheek
an empty heart
like lovers carve into a tree.
there were no initials
no dates
just old skin
rough and crumbly like bark.
she stood alone
bowed
an ancient tree in the forest
awaiting a fall
no one would ever hear.
