Divided

olden southern cemetery shadows hide your inventory ancient oaks dripping Spanish moss I follow a path criss-crossing human glory   finding delicate offerings decades lain enshrined from crying loved ones long forgotten despair crumbled headstones beyond repair…whispered sighing   some aren’t at peace where they lay restless disquietude displays crypts show signs of being disturbed [...]

Healing

The layers are peeling And my heart is healing Because I’m willing to look Unwavering at what’s afoot My eyes are unflinching I won’t look away At even the darkest, shadowy Places within Healing takes place When I acknowledge the truth No pretending what I’m not But embracing the facts No deceiving myself Shine a [...]

Take a Moment

How quick we are And impatient we’ve become So many in a hurry Their lives in a flurry Gone the stillness Of a moment to be To linger and tarry Examine and wonder Such a loss, such a shame There’s so much to ponder To see the beauty To notice around us Myriad small joys [...]

Laws of my Life

The laws of my life have mellowed with age They no longer carry the same weight. I don’t feel as if I must make a date Or do a thing if I don’t feel like I must. I more go along with the way that I feel Rather than what someone may think about me. [...]

Step by Step…

Step by step I journey through this life, climbing countless and steep mountains of one foot after the other. Only to stumble and go tumbling down to come to the place of where I now rest. Go on, go on, keep up, keep up! No matter the deep, depressive darkness that may envelop me, or the brilliant [...]
