The old ways

There’s something 

To be said for technology

But there’s still beauty

In pen and paper

The deepest victory

Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness 

Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness 

Depression’s Brutality 

Feeling failure
As i lack
The adoration
Of millions

Since i don’t
Possess a legacy
Where the future
Will study my relics,
A sense of reverence
Seeking proximity
To my memory

Thoughts on my Mother

memories faded

her face inaccessible 

her love remains strong
