I Saw July 20, 2025

I Saw July 20, 2025 – Storey Tarris UK

I Saw July 20

I saw July 20,
A day painted in chaos,
An accident, or what looked like one,
Cars crumpled, bikes askew,
Tickets fluttering like lost dreams.

I saw rows of merchandise,
Colorful, vibrant, yet untouched,
No flip flops soft enough,
To cradle weary feet,
Just a longing for comfort,
In the coolness of the morning.

I saw plantains, golden and ripe,
Lying in wait for hungry forks,
I saw food, a feast for the senses,
Sizzling, fragrant, calling out,
To shoppers with empty stomachs.

I saw a dead bird in a gutter grate,
Silent no longer a witness to the day,
Its feathers a stark contrast,
To the passing traffic,
A reminder of fragility,
In the midst of the mundane.

I saw people washing cars,
Soapy water words floating in the air – Tamales!
Laughter? No nothing mingling with the splashes,
A moment of panic amidst the spray,
Finding Sunday to be ordinary,
On this July day, alive with footsteps.

Last Day of Spring 21-6-2025

Last Day of Spring

The sun hangs high, casting long shadows,
A gentle warmth wraps around us,
Sunburned arms tell stories of laughter,
Of afternoons spent in the embrace of light.

Ice tea sweats in chilled glasses,
A refreshing pause before the heat arrives,
Sunglasses shield our eyes from brilliance,
As we savor the last blooms of spring.

Petals drift softly to the ground,
Nature’s farewell, a quiet transition,
The air thickens with the promise of summer,
A shift in the breeze, a hint of what’s to come.

We gather our memories,
Packing away the coolness of spring,
Preparing for the vibrant days ahead,
Where the sun will blaze and the world will awaken.

In this moment, we breathe deeply,
Holding onto the beauty of what was,
As we step forward into the warmth,
Ready for the adventures of summer.

No Room for Pain – January 31, 2025

Declare my resolution to have new beginnings 

January unfolds my heart

a blank canvas,

a possibility today.

Break of dawn releasing the shadows,

the new beginning says

“No vacancy.“

Frosted soul,

home of a reality renewed

touch the earth

make a promise

welcome the beginning.

Leave behind sorrow

today, in my heart.

Firmsme proved the POC for a wellness detox focused on adipose and is now focused on proving concept for another detox focused on Skin health.

The Wellness Detox program for Adipose and Skin is a series. Here are a few facts about Adipose (fat) and your Skin Layer.

  • It take 10 years to detox all your fat cells. (Fat cells renew at 10% a year.)
  • 30 pounds of fat equals 30 billion fat cells.
  • It takes 90 days to improve your skin collagen health.

Currently Updating Websites and Waiting for Spring 2024

  • I’m updating all websites to DB10 and working on content for the next phase of Goes with Jeans. This is the first time, I’ve worked on a project with just myself and an investor. I’m used to having a team of at least two. For other start-ups, you can prove concept with team of one.
  • The narrowboat project (started for fun) is on hold during winter 23/24. The hull was blackened in November 2023 and the roof is scheduled to be extended by 6cm in spring 2024. I purchased two domain names just in case I need to add them to the support websites for goes with jeans. Note: I’m learning a lot about the UK and river boat sailors.
