Sliver~

A sliver of pain

a sliver of gain

a sliver of hope

a sliver of doubt

phasing in

phasing out

begin the cycle

again and again

looking up

looking back

looking within

I ain’t going

back.

I’ll take my

sliver

and ride that

crescent

until the

full moon

returns…

Dawn

Dawn rising

in beauty

in hope

dreams fade

as day breaks

fragments linger

the dawning of a new day

another day

another way

another do-over

another dawn…

Daybreak…

A new day

a new way

looking back

looking ahead

living today

finding strength

day by day

day to day

finding comfort

in a dream

a cozy chair

with a book

and a pen

I write

again and again

this feeds

my soul,

Everyday…

Fog~

Fog

rolls in

rolls out

rolls over

Blankets~

waking

dream state,

reflects

deflects

forces focus on

whats in front

of you.

Surrender to

the mist

answers come

as it lifts…

Universe~

Tired of the tears

Roses and raindrops

cloud my eyes

muffle my sighs

specks that float

memories that gloat

the struggle is real

if you can feel

lost in the abyss

fragments and bits

finding bliss

in all that I miss

Universe

can you hear me?

Burn~

My soul withers

I burn,

I yearn

for a life

I love~

Free from torment

free to be…

Let me smell the sea

on the wind

Roses in the mist

Loves gentle kiss

Let me burn with passion

for life once again.

free at last

to write my hearts song…

fragile spirit

shattered glass

holding fast

waiting on

the dream,

the light,

the way…

sweet universe

hear my tears

and

let me live

again…

Thankful~

Waiting on the sun

until it’s done

thankful

for another day

the animals fed

the coffee is done

thankful

for their love…

the family still sleeps,

rest well my beloved

thankful

for they exist,

they make my life rich~

thankful

for my friends

for the love

for the laughter

for all of it,

this thing called life,

Thankful~
