Dawn Approaches

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

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.

If I won the Powerball

My values are deep
A key: generosity.
But would they hold true?

This winter’s day

Manic busyness
Sunlight slowly reclaims days.
January rains

Hope’s Power

The sun collapses
Into itself, within dreams
Hope’s power calming
