Tribute to Leonard Nimoy

A humble, heartfelt tribute to a major figure in my life. I’ve always wanted to be Spock.
Amongst the stars
My youth passionately dreamt.
Live long and prosper.

What is it to age?

Years go past, as they’re want to do.

I shall not despair time’s price.

Yet, though I may age, I refuse to whither,

And not go quietly into the goodnight.

No, I shall boisterously proclaim

My presence, embracing the love

Surrounding me. Grasping the

Blessedness of existence, of life.

Truth

Truth, laying hidden
In plain site, floating
Upon the spring breeze,
Raging winter storm
Or Autumn’s fallen
Leaves. Grasping
Hold of each sense,
Each sensibility, until
Reality becomes
Distilled down to
Bassest elements,
Life’s rawest truth.

This Girl

She’s like a hummingbird
Energy and passion
Vibrate from her being
Morning sunlight
In the early spring.

Drinking, her cup
Touches her lips
Ever so briefly
Pausing her vibrant
Song. Upon a breath
Light returns.
