Tragedy and Balance

image

Rage at the moment
Fluttering away like air;
Tragedy’s horror

Struggling with the past

Finding myself trapped
The past remains within
Hindering progress

After a Nightmare

image

Woke from a nightmare
Dreams of death and resistance
To birdsong outside

What’s Actually Done

I find it painful
At the end of busyness
Nothing accomplished

image

Dawn Approaches

image

It is not yet dawn
Life begins manic stirrings
Night’s calm succumbing

Upon my couch

Fighting this illness
Wheezing more than I can stand
Rainfall comforts me

Focus

image

Distraction, empty;
“Now”, the moment powerful.
Rain flows from branches

Hope is resistance

False power calling
The allure of fear and rage.
Hope always triumphs.
