Find the Wild

Find the wild

Listen quietly to the sound of the wilderness

Trees rustling

birds chirping

the breeze whispering.

Breathe all of it in and you will feel like the wisest of us all.

Sun and Rain

Is it the rain that makes me sad or is it the ache of emptiness that once was you?

Perhaps I just need to wait for the sun to return and warm my thoughts.

Wild

All of us have a piece of wild that lives in our soul.

Keep it.

Treasure it.

Love it.

Because it will protect you during war.

Fall

Fall: Where summer’s promises start to break as fast as they were made.

Regrets cling like early evenings watching the sun say goodbyes.

The heat of day starts turning to a dark coolness promising more.

Have we really aged as much as our hearts feel worn or is it just another summer gone in a pile of selfies and beach days?

See you again next year.

Summer is here

It’s here: Summer. With it’s hot days, hotter nights, cold drinks, and broken promises. Be careful out there. -Mandy Ricks
