An Unconventional Life

My life’s been lived

At a right-angle 

To reality



I’ve always valued originality over all else. 


This morning’s calmness

This morning’s calmness

My soul echoes in raindrops 

In the puddle, sky

Waking to Rainfall

Waking to rainfall
Bringing forth feelings of “home”
My soul echoing
With memories of drops
Gently rattling
Roofs and windows
When I, wrapped
Securely in blankets;
This world’s savagery
Still a mystery 

Facing Challenges

Life challenges us 

When we rise up and fight back

That is when we grow 

Sirens in the Dead of Night

p style=”font-family:"”>Sirens piercing the darkness

p style=”font-family:"”>Summoned against fear

The power of dawn

As mornings are born
Light pours into the darkness
Potential returns

Mornings have great power, setting the tone for the day. 


A Tuesday Haiku 

Eternal movement 

Hands sprinting on these dials

Relentless motion 

The cost of rage

Rage brings forth power

Everything comes with a cost

Not a path to peace
