Carl Setzer

Unbounded by fear, embraced by love

Brutality free,
Humanity unbounded
Potential released

Deeply frustrating
My autocorrect errors
Failure of my eyes

Now I’ve become lost
Aimlessly within my dreams
Nightly quietude

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

Sunlight descending
Clouds alight behind mountains
Crispness upon wind

Manic busyness
Sunlight slowly reclaims days.
January rains

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

Remembering songs,
Falling earthward from the stars,
Gracefully dreaming

Lost within ego
Raging thoughtlessly again
Painful to my heart

As I grow older
I shall resist feebleness
Living vibrantly
