“Take care of the people
you love
without expecting
a reward
for being a giving and
caring person.
Otherwise you will end
up living in your big,
beautiful house
alone.
Unknowingly homeless.”

“he laid down his pen
after a few moments.
and there were no marks
on the corner of the page.
where his hand
had been resting.
the ink had run dry.
there was nothing.
nothing left.”

“It's been a while since I've had a
moment to miss you,
and to cry.
This warm, summer breeze
on my balcony makes me think of
Cape Cod,
and your floral swimsuits.
How you never worn sunscreen but
always told us we had to.
Even in this loud city,
quiet moments exist where your
spirit is present.
And I feel like you're sitting next to
me on the beach again.
So I'll wait until the sun goes down
before I go back inside.
For now, we can sit here and listen
to the ocean.”
