ONE: A Verse (or two) - by Autumn Boyet-Stinton 7/2/2021

ONE by Autumn Boyet-Stinton (7/2/2021) 

One breath, one beat
    Continuing as one...

Bound together with love
    Control undone. 

Electric and static
    A charge in the air...

Companionship, respect, support
    We do share.

November 6th, 2024 - The Day After - I am not ok.

 No.  I'm NOT ok.   You should not be ok, either.   It isn't as simple as moving forward and respecting each other and each other's opinions.   If you in anyway supported or voted Trump back into office, you are not my friend.  You voted for HATE You voted for BIGOTRY You voted for DECEIT  You voted for FACISM You voted for CRUELTY You voted for GREED You voted for EVIL You voted against DEMOCRACY  You voted against FREEDOM You voted against EQUALITY You voted against KINDNESS You voted against HUMANITY  You voted against PEACE You voted against me.  But worse... You voted against yourself.  When I look at what just happened, I am most heart broken and OUTRAGED to clearly see a fatal flaw in some humans.  It isn't just about being a good human - you know: kind, empathetic, understanding, helping, telling the truth, etc. - It's a matter of MORAL ETHICS.  You know "moral ethics...the internal rules that make you who you are ...

April 10, 2023 - TWENTY YEARS!

Image
  “Twenty years was yesterday, and yesterday was just earlier this morning,  and morning seemed light-years away.” – Andre Aciman TWENTY YEARS?  Two decades?   I sit here and wonder…HOW?    W asn’t it just yesterday?...because the pain is still so fresh.   But wasn’t it forever ago?...because it seems like a 100 years since I’ve heard your laugh or seen your smile? I’ve felt rather morose for a few months now, knowing today was peeking up over the horizon at me in 2023.   It has weighed heavily on me.   I’ve spent so much time of late, wondering if is morbid to memorialize the day we lost you – or even disrespectful to invest so much emotion in remembrance of the last moments we had with you.   Maybe it is more appropriate to remain taciturn, or better yet maybe simply let the day pass with no mention of the sadness it evokes.   But somehow, that hurts worse.   Oh, Dad!   I miss you so much. You were a b...

The Shattered Mirror of Me – by Autumn Boyet-Stinton 10/5/2022

Image
  The Shattered Mirror of Me – Autumn Boyet-Stinton 10/5/2022 Jagged pieces of my psyche surround me, shattered at my feet and ankles.  A million mirrored bits that no longer make a whole.  Each edge glimmering with the power to puncture, slice and slay, individually harming  in seemingly minute ways.  Yet combined, they drain from me life force.  A small seeping, that ever so slightly, weakens my spirit and taxes my soul.    I am aware of this gradual depletion, this slipping of control, but I know not how to stop what seems to be the inevitable.  And I am lost to myself.    Reflective pieces surround me and construe reality into something unfamiliar and unrecognizable to my own eyes.  Segments of me and my life peek back in broken pieces, confusing my reality, reflecting me in obscurity.  There are glimmers of recognition, moments in which the reflections mimic reality.  Not quite in focus, never fully see...
