Act Your Age [Poem]

The spirit has no age
And yet is shackled
To the age we tell it to act

From the people who tell it to us
From the people who told it to them
From the people who made it up

The spirit has no age
Let it roam free
To be as it may—

Age-free and un-trapped.

Paid In Full [Poem]

What we pay for in attention
We purchase in identity

What we consume by choice
We create from inevitably

The person we see today
Is a byproduct of yesterday

And who we'll be tomorrow
Is paid in full each day—invariably

Hiding [Poem]

Isn’t it funny
How we hide our faults
And then wonder why
It feels like
Nobody
Really sees us

Love, Like Death [Poem]

The size of your love for another
Isn’t equal to the size of love
the other receives

The most beautiful love letter ever written
Pales in comparison
to a simple hug from the one that’s right

If there’s anything I’ve learned from love in this life
It’s that love, like death,
isn’t something you get to decide
