I hope someone finds as much comfort in reading my work as I have writing it.

Children.

The naked cries of this Earth unleashed.

Ignored forevermore

by Her children.

Ambrosia

As my feet travel across this morning rain

my mind is content with the touch of the soft dirt.

It is in this doleful twilight of the soul

the walls between my ego and this world fall -

leaving my mind to awaken to the Ambrosia this Earth would give us freely,

if it were not for our own self-indulgence.

A white rose.

A white rose grows there

In the wild ground from long ago

rather than a yard

A Bird

A bird sings somewhere

A lonely branch is its home

Rather than a cage

Winter

A fresh breath of cold

My seared lungs, broken

The snow flowing down

The Aftermath of Lightning

A brilliant red

A flash of light and thunder

A charcoal woodpile

Books in Thrift Stores

The pages yellow and worn

The cover was torn down then

Sorrow and torn pages

Do not go the path less taken.

The sand lay beneath me weaving in gentle ways

do not go the path less taken they say.

The feet I have. Sore and heavy

this burden is mine alone to pay.

The rising sun no longer my friend, 

I make this journey alone.

Do not go the path less taken they say

but this burden is mine alone.

Forlorn and sad I take my path,

wandering the dunes.

Footsteps behind me evanesce, 

the happiness I had so quickly hewn.

Fated to wander, my lot in life

with no rock to ground me.

Do not go the path less taken they say

this burden is mine alone to pay.

Freedom.

Just as the lion's breath chases away the cold

I will be free and bonds will be shaken.

Just as the fog and mist despair at the light

I will shake the bonds that have held me.

As I stand upon the ledge of freedom

The dark will leave

Without turning back or pausing for assurance

I will be free.

My Intentions here.

I want to write.

I write to preserve what little sanity I have left.
