About this Blog

This is not a music blog, it's really a poetry blog - at least, that's my intention right now. But there's some reasoning behind the musical reference. When I think of dissonant chords, I think of musical experiences of tension or discomfort that sometimes leave one longing for resolution (but that certainly make things more interesting)! So that is the general theme for the poetry I'll post (at least right now, I will probably change things up as time goes on.) I realize poetry is a pretty subjective experience, so if you don't like what I post, that's fine with me. Feel free to leave comments as you like. I do have to warn you that many of my posts may be spiritual or religious in nature, so if that isn't a topic you are comfortable reading about, you may want to make a virtual U-turn. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), but the views expressed here are mine alone. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the posts!

The glass, darkly


Those features, too familiar

From habitual daily glare-

Garishly overforcused

Every blemish magnified

 

Oh, those pores

The widening of the nose there

And what fickle child scribbled the lines so?

 

I squint, nose pressed against the darkened glass.

 

Gently, He scoots me back

And flips my mirror.

A wider view-

Brightening,

 

Shows a bit more

Of the journey

And the transformation

Than I could see up close.
