I grew up learning history about communities that would support their people (the idea that it takes a village), but all I see are so many people left on their own.

RENEE STONEI lost touch with the world around me – gone unnoticed by that which surrounds me, but I must find the presence of that which grounds me if I am to once again grasp onto everything I lost touch with.
RENEE STONEI escaped the voice of darkness that was as pervasive as the silence that has come to replace all the words you had misplaced.
RENEE STONEThe free for all of love – these tiny acts within our capability. In turn, reciprocation is of no concern. We just want people to listen and learn that love is granted to all.
RENEE STONEI was never lonely alone because love has come to me in many forms, and one of them was you.
RENEE STONEThe thought of you having to try hurts because it feels like you should have known to let me go before you grabbed ahold.
RENEE STONEThere is a warmth that fills the soul when the sun’s rays tend to your skin from up above.
RENEE STONEI wish you could feel it when it’s dark at night, and I think of you when I pass the streetlights. But I know you feel the care without me being there.
RENEE STONEI don’t think anyone really gets my attachment to the little things. They call it insignificant and say that it is what it is. I think it all adds up to what we stand for. The little things add up to something meaningful and so does the complacency.
RENEE STONEI’m writing on a blank page full of chances and hope.
RENEE STONEHere you are, another heartache to guard under my wings as I wait wondering when it’ll be time for me to fly.
RENEE STONEBody and mind aren’t separated. And so all these things I write, they are felt in the aches of my heart.
RENEE STONEImagine the unknown of what the beings around you cover up and struggle with everyday.
RENEE STONEI write poems of the past; they reveal the reasons we didn’t last.
RENEE STONEMy body is a field site of muscle memory and weathered bones.
RENEE STONEI try to build myself a bridge to cross every time I start to ruminate on my thoughts.
