He dreams Left hand spanning my rib cage gripping, releasing Fingers twitching, tickling I could wake him but he is safe I allow his sleep state to venture If the waters get too rough I’ll gently kiss him back to me A precious moment when a love falls asleep first Window cracked cool breeze caressing …
Total cloud cover no sense of direction 150 tons of steel dropping ten feet at a time Wild whiteout feeling as if the plane is rotating backwards Gripping arm rests speeding on sky’s choppy waters anticipating getting thrown overboard Eventually spit out into clear blues smooth sailing over a never-ending sea of cotton balls The …
Dad teaches son how to prepare a raw chicken for dinner The same one raised on their land The same one he used to chase around wired fencing A young man flirts with a young lady as he helps her of the bus Magic seconds only they share A community clears a field of fallen …
She is evergreen A Ponderosa Pine arching over the Deschutes River cool water lapping toes She is an unfathomable height rooted but swaying Brushing surrounding saplings whispering her presence She is free Embraced by wind fertilizing land Helping others sprout new life She is the queen nurturer in a forest of struggling humanities Forever giving …
Sand sifting through fingers droplets rolling down arms Is it chills from cold water? or the surreal feeling of being home with free time Kissing Grammy’s flushed cheek Silk Smelling of sweet cream and lemongrass We are a team faced up against what seems like the impossible jigsaw 1,000 pieces, one always missing Eyes meet …

Pinpoint your freedoms Pure releases dropkicking masses off fatigued shoulders Let them nurture you Bloom an inner peace so prevailing it illuminates outward leaving a permanent glow on dull humanities rippling through glassy waters positively charging daily contacts A sole moment shifting forever’s - Breelyn Shelkey
If it makes you question Feel flocks of eagles slashing stomach walls Take quick action and ghost closest emergency exit False. Peek that fireball across the room lightening fueled to thunder worlds Two options: 1.Take it 2. Leave it But you can be sure it won’t present itself again Thoughts of ‘what …
Sliding glass door open wide Wind tickles leaves, they whisper us Dusk Pinot Noir legs dance on crystal Heels pirouetting on cream tile Childish with laughter, stupid in love A world cloaked in gold shimmer Sunrises carry new adventures Roasted coffee amplifying pupils Apricot stained sandstone A gentle squeeze draws browns to blues The …

We have allowed countless minutes hours sections of days slip away to underserving miniscule irritants. What are these silly little occurrences stealing smiles? How do they hold this much power over our lives? Breathe in Let it all go one exhale Take the wheel straighten out hit the gas see it fade in …
