I played
in shadows
here..
the door
that opened
closed
behind
me..
I have no need
to find
that key.

Returning
Whisper
We’re tethered
together here
yet alone, set apart..
I can hear
each heart
whisper..
I’m reaching out
reaching out
touch my soul.

Why
I don’t know
why..
birds migrate
and rivers run
dry..
why fate unfolds
like a story
told..
of rising high;
falling
low
rising high..
I don’t know
why.

Moving On
Places
and faces
have gone..
tears shed
have left no trace;
no sign..
time
bled away..
it led us
onwards..
moving on.

Home Within
A refuge..
where tensions dissolve
truth is spoken
and conflict
resolves..
where wounds heal
harmony returns
and the soul
reveals..
hearth and heart
are akin..
I’m home
within.

Charade
Oh… the charade
of humanity;
the treachery
hubris
all that is..
can we feel
are we alive..
will our hearts break
enough
to survive.

Something Beautiful
A shaft of light;
the flash
of belief..
forgiving insight;
a falling
leaf..
benevolent toil;
the butterfly’s
wing..
a merciful smile;
all fragile
things.

Solace
Light
fades;
hidden
from view..
this world’s
parade
of pain
keeps passing
through..
can
we find
some lasting
solace
here..
and start
anew.

A Pebble
So here I am..
my ragged edges
made smooth; softened
by life’s jagged touch
like a pebble plunged
through the rocky flow..
knowing nothing
for sure
though the water
is pure.
