Cicadas call now,
10,000 steps to nowhere,
“Will I find myself?”

I stop. This moment
dances on petals–my heart
unfrozen freezes.

Poetry | Fallen Blossoms
Blossoms, Diedré M. Blake
Let me hold you now
as sakura blossoms fall,
welcoming spring.

Poetry | And then…
Is this what we do?
Try to remember moments
when mortality seemed mythical,
when walking gave way to dancing,
when story, ours, lacked history, and
when…, and when…, and when…
And then realize the futility of the process.

For the sake of normalcy
I pour a cup of tea, sip it, delighting in its aroma.
I pack my bag for work, glance at news headlines on my phone, and contemplate dinner.
I prepare lesson plans and life plans, all the while wondering if any of it matters.
I place my keys on a magnetic hook, glance through a new book, and consider leftovers.
Life has become a news stream, a ticker tape parade of banal bits and sordid pieces, that fails to bore or shock anymore: a birthing of and dying in indifference.
I pick up my pillow, hold it close, finding comfort in nostalgia.

Until Next Time,

#Poetry | The Door
The door
Doesn’t everything begin a long time ago?
Someone somewhere opened a door.
Someone somewhere locked it.
Someone somewhere knocked loudly,
then softly,
and then no more.

Trees will remember
our failures, centuries
passing like seconds.
