Show me
something
real..
a kindness
an innocence
an essence
a hidden depth;
a forbidden
truth
revealed..
please..
show me
something
real.

Real
It’s Alright
Stop
enjoying the pain..
feeding
this
shadow..
blocking
the light..
let your
ethereal beauty
shine..
it’s all fine
it’s alright,
it’s alright.

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

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.

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.
