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 – Instance

We are Dynamic. Every minute we remember To breathe, We are living. We are Changing. From one instance To the next, Time is passing. Amassing, To all the moments We felt alive - Simply to feel it once more -Just one more time. If only it could be real. But it is not Because it …

Instance – Silence of the Night

There is something magicIn the silence of the night.

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 …
