Aimlessly within my dreams
Nightly quietude

My values are deep
A key: generosity.

Sunlight descending
Clouds alight behind mountains
Crispness upon wind

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

Paralyzed by rage
Blame is easier than work
Yet non-productive

Honesty’s challenge
To dig deep within ourselves
Release what’s hidden
