Vignettes and Poetic Interludes

Vignettes and Poetic Interludes is a collection of essays and poems. Each explores the beauty that lies within each of us, and challenges us to see the beauty in one another.

The breath you’ve held in for so long let it out.

Words are malleable. They are powerful. They can cause happiness and fear; they let us dream of what may have been, create our expectations for the future, and tell our history. If we treat them with the respect they deserve, whether spoken privately or written for the world to read, words will be the friend that keeps us warm at night.

Eye of the Beholder

Beauty isn’t

in the eye

of the beholder;

it comes

from within

and shines

bright from eyes

that know

the truth.

The Box

The box with four sides sharply drawn

created by the limits

of your mind holds you alone.

The journey of our shared experiences bind us together.
