Anywhere and Everywhere
Could it be that I have found my perfect place? You could join me; it’s not a contest or a race. Because you all are ever, always welcome there. Plenty of good food, sweet water and clean air
How Now
How will I find my way back home? Lost in ruts, deep in darkness, pain How will I discover my path to you? Sunlight fails to enlighten me, illuminate my soul How long must I continue going nowhere? When I am constantly moving, striving How may I stop feeling insane? Unable to unlock my emotional […]
Conjoined Twins
Although flies shall feast upon the face of death I don’t care to sever them from their short lives It is the natural way, we express in every breath All follow our own natures until our end arrives Yet still flies linger, called to my warm breathing Do they remind or only irritate by their […]

Look of Wonder
Oh for the look of amazed wonder Which can be seen in a child’s eyes When it’s all new, here and yonder They’ve not learned to hate, despise Over time, it all becomes mundane As you excel at talking in your head Your world narrows, cannot explain Only hear your own chatter instead When you […]
Sad to Report
