we were wild once

I dreamt we were wild once I saw us running the steeps We felt the wind, the way it only feels to the free things We knew it’s secret name, and how to call it to us how it came outpacing us and lifting us up and up. We were flying then, the wind pulling … Continue reading →

The Unspoken Truth

Posted on October 19, 2015 by Paige Stewart • 1 Comment

I have bouts of depression. I suffer from depression. I am depressed. I don’t even know how to phrase it anymore. Tonight it bites at my heels, alcohol could sometimes shake it… change it. Now even when drinking I am completely lucid and upset that there is no reprieve from this state. I would never … Continue reading →

Off Note

Today is a struggle to write. Normally it just flows out but I feel everything clashing around inside like a broken piano notes plunking off in a sad beat lacking the coordinated effort that is music this piano is out of tune and jostling so many notes at once in time maybe it would sound … Continue reading →

An opening

In a house in the desert, there is a window out to the world. Everyday we press ourselves against it. Drunkenly smelling the scents carried by the arid air. Exalting in the sights this small vantage gives us. Shedding our skin on the wall, in a ritual exfoliation that may jettison us to transcendence. The physical pressing, … Continue reading →

Transparency

Our ability to be seen through is, perhaps, our greatest goal. That we have nothing to hide, nor anything to hide behind. All the grand illusions will have faded away… Shadowless, the light that pours in, pours through us to illuminate everything. Nothing is left in the dark and yet there is no shame, no … Continue reading →

Because I told you…

  Every post, every word set down is a spell I am casting to root out my fears, the demons that have held me. The demon within. The stones that sunk me into a suicidal depression. That everyday and every word is a gift and a choice to remain.. to never let go. To stay. … Continue reading →

Stars

If you captured all the light in a day, it would not be there. If your hearing was lost, it would matter very little because you will never hear it. If you burned all the trees trying to root it out, it would not be found. The memories of stars, Long darkness bursts of new … Continue reading →

An ache comes with the chill on the wind a bitter truth is blowing in through the one window left the others were taken down, or blown out by winds I make at night I called up all my gales, truth’s stripped on the force of their winds we made a big mess, trying to … Continue reading →

Falling Together

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Paige Stewart • Leave a comment

“If I fall, will you catch me?” asked the earth. “Yes,” resounded the sky. “I will hold you forever and kiss every part of you and we may fall but always together.” That is how we will heal the world, the salve of time has always been love. Paige Stewart Photo Cred: Anna Jones Continue reading →
