A little slice of heaven in poetic form. I’m so very thankful for @spoken_views_reno 😊📓🎤 Every day. Beautiful souls right here. There are so many more who step up to the mic in order to tell their stories, and share from their innermost. I’m proud to be a part of this brave and heartfelt bunch of individuals who form the collective.

These totems placed by others, as reminders of power and past,
Help visually aid through our druthers,
and navigate through this world so vast.

Eyes wide open with a depraved soul begging for more of the light
to return.

These observations we make in haste, and gifts that we take for granted, will return with the stories of their own soon enough, in order to finally be heard.

Mirror mirror on the ground,
Look at the beauty that is all around.

The phrase ‘striving after wind’ is in reference to Ecclesiastes 4:16 ESV which is the inspiration for this individual piece.

We watch our words
at times
unable to stop them
as needed
with full
expectancy.
We hear the echoes
of our own shortcomings
in the voices
of our own children
and know
the incompleteness
of our own dreams
in comparison to
shattered ego
and vacant stares.
