Instance – I Don’t Know
I see the space behind the lines.Does it fill the page or do these words fill it?One does not look at the space that is behind lines.Nevertheless, I write because I have something to say --Today, I felt something very strong, like:Kites, swimming through the sky on a windy day.Neighbors, walking by and smiling our …
Instance – Unalienable
I have just as much of a right To walk the streets at night And not fear the potential of death, Or random acts of violence Which come with being alive. And I have just as much of a rightTo speak up for my rights Fear not the risk of retaliation Nor the salvation Which …
Instance – Devoid of Senses
All around me All I hear is silence. It is deafening- Except, still, I can feel the sound of my breathAlong with the beating of my chest. I can make out the sensations Of my eyes’ movements Underneath my eyelids - A new awareness I wouldn’t have otherwise had - Had I not been in …
Instance – 7 days in a week
Doesn’t it feel as though, every seven days, time resets, in a way? One might even feel a similar jolt of energy at the start of each day - as we are granted the ability to re-create one’s self after a good night’s rest -Though the nights, not countless -Because - By its nature, a …
Instance – The Darkness
I feel as though the dark of the night lay cast his shadow over me. And as the daylight fades, I can sense the wind of the tide from miles away.And as it takes me with it, slowly and gently - I can feel the force of the sun fading with it. The further apart …

Instance – Ave-Nué
“Grounded. Gentle. Patient.” What meaning do these words hold to you?______________________________________ Despite some who may roll their eyes back to the depths in their heads, against the very words they have just read - I’ll admit, more often than I’d like - I am none of these things at times. And yet, consistently, I remain …
Instance – The Melody
Today, I write to you a bit more somber than expected. I gave the feeling as many thoughts as I could give it, and I have arrived at a conclusion: It seems I am afraid of what could come of the unexpected. For, our lives are run with expectations. We expect to be at peace, …
Instance – December 22nd
On this very day, something unimaginable happened. I found myself thinking a thought I never thought possible. It was a morning like any other. As I washed myself clean of the day prior to start another, my mind wandered. It wandered to the future and to the past. It wandered to think of my loved …
Instance – Fear
Dear Fear, I have wasted much of my life because of you. You are the idea which perpetually hangs over and onto me: purely a notion which I seem to have invented. You are the tension I feel in the racing of my mind which only shows me all the treacherous possibilities that lie ahead, …
Instance – The Friendship
Their friendship served very little purpose past the one of keeping each other company. It was a friendship based solely out of necessity - not love, nor any common ground – but simply a mutual understanding of one another’s circumstances. They each had something the other needed – not wanted. It was theirs to give …
