A song in emptiness
So beautiful
Demanding a response
Tones bouncing
Stars flicker forth
Atoms, elements born
Motion, energy,
Life

Hope, Trust, and Pushing Through Limits
Your dreams are reachable
Your hopes? Attainable
By pushing through our mind
And barriers unkind
These fake, empty notions
Defeat with trust, motion
Moments
At times
It is hard to remember
All the good in the world
Despair is a cruel teacher
Grapple with thankfulness
And accept the grace of love
That comes, truly, it comes
Often unexpectedly
A first thought this early morn
A gentle breeze blows
Branches scrape against my house
This brusque goose-like cry
Startles me abruptly
A first thought this early morn
A gentle breeze blows
Branches scrape against my house
This brusque goose-like cry
Startles me abruptly
Poetry’s Power
Once I was told
Poetry’s power
Comes from framing
Life so uniquely
That people see
Truths they’re hiding from
Experimenting with using the graphic to separate my prose from the poem. What do you think?
Sunlight Ascending
As sunlight climbs through the trees
Silently caressing my home
Shadows upon my window’s shades
Transform like living Rorschachs
Into distinct leaves, memories
Of the moment that’s fading
Awake, Far Too Early: A Brief Poem
Far too early
To be awake.
Echoes in my mind
Haunting my dreams
Today’s Haiku: Lost Within My Thoughrs
Lost within my thoughts
May the dark consume me now
Joys hidden from view
Dreams of the open road
Once I dreamt
Of the open road’s
Mysteries and delights
Envisioning freedom
And escape, adventures
The discovery of myself
Now I see
Cold nights
Buried in blankets
Fog inside on windows
Surf’s call outside and loud
