Puzzlement
Flowing mind
Drifting across
Paper and electronic
Dreams.

Weekend
And so it begins
This weekend thing of filled time
Just different stuff
Time flies
Time is flying past,
At least I find myself in
Blessed company
Awake
Air gently cools skin
Comfortable warmth from loved ones
Sleep slowly removed
Renewal
Blossoms bursting forth
Another awakening
The sleepers awake
Mortality
Our mortality
Brutally enforced mandate
The demands of time
Cruel Motivations
Driven forwards
Grinding desire
For perfection
Fearful, knowing
Against logic
Your wretched
Miserable infliction
Upon humanity
Only cured by
Self destruction
Early Cherry Blossoms
Movement calmly slows
This winter’s gently calm sun.
New cherry blossoms
Hand Crafted
Look upon roiling edges,
This vertigo inducing
Abyss of my own undoing.
Crafted by my own hands,
This yawning chasm, dug
By each act of selfish ambition.
A billion small motions.
Oblivion’s Edge
Staring over oblivion’s edge
Ancient dreams echo back
Taunting me from the mists,
Warbling amongst fir and cedar
Known, yet unseen, untouched.
Once the sun awakens and life’s
Raucous, boisterous clamor
Silences the challenge, peace
Returns.
