Favorite Quote:
"Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." - Emily Dickinson


I’m ceaselessly pumping the brakes on time,

trying to slow life down

before it’s gone

and I’m gone

like the sun dipping below the horizon

to leave a blank blue night


I hold each moment so tightly

that I’m surprised time hasn’t choked


Turns out my feeble will holds nothing against nature;

all I can do is learn to love both

the sunset and 

the stars.
