A small tap, a gentle push
A slithering, burrowing force
The effervescent inevitable rise of joy
Opposition
Posted on: April 8, 2024
The opposing forces of fear and trust, questioning and intuition, tear at the seams of my sanity like a rabid dog separating flesh from bone.
The stagnation of my indecision choking thicker than smoke inhalation in the burning building of what’s left of my splintered thoughts.
Each breath a dagger hanging on a thread that could release with an irrevocable vengeance with either choice.
So much love and hope eclipsed by doubt-freedom marred by unknown consequence.
PLEASE! I shout to the nameless, faceless, supposedly blameless gods…why do my prayers for a miracle at best, or guidance at the very least go unanswered?
Perhaps the silence is the answer.
In the waiting the healing and clarity will hopefully become germane.

Slant
Glint
Angle finagled
Capture or create
Image on slate
Diminish or amplify
Make the meek speak
The candid retreat
In the shutters eye they meet
Blurred pixels developing clarity
Almost more poetic when left undone
Bokeh

Place down the pawns
Play the game
Wrap up another day
Never stay this way
Move forward, or stand your ground
Resolution’s never found in the stagnating absence where indecision holds us captive
Bow to your captor, or claim your rapture in letting go
Hope Heals

An entity absent, but the scent still lingers…wafting like a shadow’s trail in the mist
Clearing traces of what might have been, revealing footprints in the mud
Wet soil folding in upon disappearing fossils of what once was
Somewhere between lay the potential of dreams and reality, interwoven by the thread of faith

The mate of my soul
Love not lover
Platonic, familial, filial bond
How I longed for a depth only you could unearth
So pure and bright nothing else held gravity in its light
I may have birthed you, but with the first beat of your heart mine was reborn, and I will love you long after its last earthly beat with a pulse eternal

Serendipitous sweet savory sweat
Nectar of dripping droplets from your neck
A delectable treat this aerobatic feat
Hearts on trapeze, weak in the knees
Bouncing net dirty & wet rolling in grass
Lend me your ears that my tears my hear the story of years you’ve loved, lost, longed & won
Tell me your tale in one breath or less that I may make sense of this empty mess
Put all preconceived notions to the test, shake it up, disrupt, erupt, now rest-that we may play at this again tomorrow
With present & past you hold me between thumb & forefinger-almost as tight as your shadow that lingers
Prepared

*I wrote this during the start of the pandemic & came across it today…
Leaves fall effortlessly in the wind, or with time
Now whacked unexpectedly more topple, confused
Nearby we shelter, uncertain & hopeful-the only truths inside ourselves
Praying our limbs will still bloom-fruitful, connected as one on this tree of life
Flowers clinging as I do to my prayer
Like clutching air, yet somehow I believe as surely as I breathe, you are there
We are in your care
Blowing kisses to all in the sunshine of disaster
Preparing for a rainbow
Re-entry
Posted on: November 3, 2023
When time halts
Embers of breath dissipate
Longing retreats into acceptance
No hustle or bustle, or thing of import
Only love & truth & meaning in what words cannot touch
Silent knowing
Wisdom’s smile
Soul at peace
Rebirthed in stillness
Re-entry to unknown bliss
