Walking under stars
Tranquillity of evening
Peace filling my soul

Brother’s Keeper
I am my brother’s keeper
Or, at least, so I try
Though difficult
Deeply worthwhile
A meditation on love
A tactical strike
Evading the defenses
Safe within their heart?
Today’s light
Today’s light is gone
Faded into memory
The air’s cool stillness
Duality
A heart conflicted
Powerful duality
Lost within my heart
Traveling
Dreams of traveling
Staring at the open road
Each mile transforming
Insecurities
Rising due to fears
My insecurity check
Yes, my doors are locked
Waking in the night, checking the doors and windows. Instead of a security check, I’ve taken to calling these my insecurity checks.
Starry Night
Gazing towards the stars
I’m filled with wonder and hope
Our future lies there
Nightfall
Night darkens the air
Brilliantly colored clouds fade
Hidden in the sky
Sunrise Meditation
Laying here
Sun not yet risen
Quietude dominates.
Bushes outside
This window, soon
Bursting with the
Songs from vigorous
Birds. Oblivious
To their beauty.
They hear stories
Loneliness, violence,
Domination, love and death.
Songs that change daily
Yet remain constant.
Quietude vanishes into life.
