The air caresses
Gently through my hair, my skin;
A life, wild, free
Category: Poetry
Starry Sky
Sky, absent the sun
The stars are comforting me
Familiar friends
Sunlight
Forcing upon skin
The beauty of cloud-free skies
Sometimes there is fire
Crossroads
Where can we go now?
Once the dreams are accomplished
Yet there’s much more life
Not quite
“Almost” escaping
Leaving my lips far too fast
Birthing new regrets
Priorities
An empty focus
Driving towards reflexive goals
Neglecting one’s soul
Progress
Daring to speak words,
Empowerment of progress.
Seeking real change.
Downwards
Upon arid earth
Heaven’s promise flutters down
Escaping the sky
Flu Haiku
Germs descended here
Embattled body withers
May healing soon come
A Memorial Day Meditation
Upon these moments
Fields of grass with stone scribed names
Silence tells the tale
