Waiting

Sit, waiting for God,
Grasping tranquility’s joy.
Peacefulness transcends.

Rage needs a tight leash
If we have any hope for
Pointing out towards good

Entrenched brutality deep
Sunlight clears the fog

Never Enough

November 22, 2015November 22, 2015 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.

Darkness hints at cold
Wintertime’s whispered approach
Dew drops now frozen

Living is movement,
An obscured destination 
Lights within darkness

November 13, 2015 Carl Setzer1 Comment

Cynicism’s dead
Devoid of joyous dreaming
Vanishes like mist

For Hope

One cannot exist
Upon the empty promise
Of cynicism

Commit to your dreams
Seek to obey the dreamer
Passion carries you.
