I am Mike.

Drawing Hearts in the Sand

I arrived just before sunrise. She said she’d be late. I didn’t mind. Patience is something I’ve come to know quite well. Having an entire beach for sunrise isn’t something I enjoy often. The sky was beginning to brighten and change to a warmer hue. Sitting on the moist sand, I prepared for the dawn. [...]

Once in a Dream

It’s hard to remember the details. The images are in my head but I can’t find words to describe them. Her hair was red and we ended up getting along really well. Somewhere down the hole we fell into a land of stolen memories. Every name hung on a wall etched in wood with a [...]

Thoughts from Last Night

Focus on the little pieces and let the bigger picture come together naturally. When you try and focus on the overall goal you realize you don’t have the right pieces and limit yourself from enjoying or making the right choices in the small run. As you focus on the little things it creates an image [...]

A View of Chance

I stepped on the crisp autumn leaves as I walked up to the tree. This was the highest point on the hill that overlooked the northern city. The sun was just transitioning into setting mode and the light began to warm up. I zipped up my jacket as a cool breeze blew through stirring up [...]

I lost track of how long I’ve been running. The trees look the same as when I started, yet it feels as if I’m miles away. Each step pounding in the final nail of my decision. I can’t turn back now. Not with what I left behind waiting for me. I must continue on. I must not [...]

Wait

I could hear the waves crashing beneath me. I could feel the power of each wave. My sight was limited to dimly lit street corners and the starlight from above. The walk was a quite one this night. The stuffed up studio was beginning to feel stale. I needed air. My usual path was calling. [...]

Breaking

I walked outside to find the ground covered in leaves. The sunlight reflected off the vibrant hues of the season. Dusk was here. Walking further, I crunched the leaves under my boots. The sound echoed off into the brisk wind. I looked ahead to see what I expected. The jacket was black with a matte [...]

Pull

Pull me out of this hole. Drag me to water and let me drink. My thirst is strong. Bury my hunger with food of thought and comfort. Fill me up with peace. Retrace the steps of mine and plant new greens. Cover the path that led me astray. Dig up a new shelter for confidence. [...]
