Intersections


 Serape dreams 

As the sun dips beneath the Davis mountains 

The warmth of the day lingers on my skin 

Like your touch 

But it’s fading as the cool night air descends 

There’s magic in the air all around me, twinkling 

A drum beat in my head 

Are you the somebody making me move? 

Dancing across a barren earth barefooted 

With my heart filled with future 

All of my memories of my painful past 

Evaporate like desert rains 

When you’re next to me 

I see you down every road 

In every direction 

Intersections 

I am a christened new version each time I wake 

Left in your wake 

Waves of love crash over my head and flow 

Leaving me drenched in you 

A new life 

Soundtracks in my mind 

Move my feet closer to you 

Capturing this feeling 

Feels like chasing midnight lightning 

Through monsoonal Marfa summer nights 

Electrifying 

These summer nights keep me alive 

Dancing and dreaming 

A desert Gypsy 

In the pouring rain 

Feeling slightly insane 

Drunk on this love

Anxiety

  Anxiety is like a flash flood. You’re standing in the most glorious sunshine, unaware of the rain falling high up in the mountains. Far away. You’re going about your day. Trying to stay in your gratitude for the beauty around you. And then..BAM!! Out of seemingly nowhere a rushing torrent sweeps you off of the safety you were standing in. It swells around you. Threatening. Ominous. It rips your peace away like tree roots. Until everything around you becomes a swirling mass of debris. No sight of your safe place. When it dissipates you’re left in the mud. With the muck. In the remains of who you were before it came. You’re left to contemplate the cleanup and the rebuild. What practice can you implement that will keep the flash floods away? Can you form a dam with prayer? Breathing? Yoga? Meditation? Incense? What foundation can you set that will keep you from being swept away again? Each cycle of this is a lesson. With each cycle a new you is born. A version who sifts through the rubb

She Dreams of the Desert

She dreams of the desert  Of its dangerous beauty  The unknown  He dreams of the desert  He knows the safety it holds for him  His long time only friend  She calls to them both  For very specific reasons  Seasons  Of their lives are different  But the desire is the same  The desert is a mermaid  With a sweet siren song  What you make of her  Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call

Took A Greyhound Bus To My Love

Image
  Took a Greyhound bus to my love   Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace  Story of a nexus  That grew into love  A love that connects us  Across state lines  Swamp to the desert  One leads to the other  Landscapes fade and change  Wide open range  Leaving plenty of space to fill with love  Daydreams  Of real things  That keep us intertwined  Took a Greyhound bus to my love  So I could dream the whole way  Of the way  She makes me feel  Smiles on my face for real  Green eyes sparkling through the night  Holding my baby tight  Wheels on the road  Turning round and round  Like the feels in my heart  Hitting like a dart  Pulling up on the target  Of my affection  No question  It’s been worth the whole ride
