There was a time when men bartered goods,
This for that, that for those.
Then the coin appeared,
To make things easier.
...
What would be a measure
Of this space?
Could it be counted by what it has housed,
Or would what it could have held,
...
Stepping into happiness is like
Going swimming.
You put a toe in and test the waters
It's refreshing but you're unsure about the plunge.
...
When you laugh,
It’s the laughter of a child,
But when I’m weak,
You’re big and strong for me.
...
A paper crane
Sits on my coffee table,
A good luck symbol,
Harbinger of happiness,
...
It came upon me like a blue moon
A severance of ties, and known realities,
I lay awake at night, counting imaginary stars
I consoled my heart, in an effort to love.
