A light shines bright
Dispelling the darkness
From spark to flame
Brightening the night
With strength of heart
A soul so clear
Brings joy alive
Though so far apart
A mother is waiting
To hold her again
As days slowly pass
Anticipating

Paths
Until my last breath
My last gasp
I will be here
Trying to explain
The simplicity
We have lost
In the mêlée
We maintain
And to say Adieu
As I go from here
I will shed no tear
As I will see you soon.
Stoic & Buddhist
The Final Step
They say I am an odd one
Never fitting the square hole
Dismissive, and done
They say I am disconnected
Alienated to the world
Maybe mentally affected
Yet I am only this
Seeing beyond the words
Never a detail do I miss
And I love this world
Never so connected
The foundation unfurled
Every moment
I live to the last
Never did I own it
I used to see
I used to know
I used to watch
A simple shift
From watching
To being
One step
Forward
Now I am
(Stoic)
Seeds
Fertile soil beyond the wall
Planted in time they will grow
Yet we may never know
Anger’s weeds are fast to bloom
Fear allows the growing room
Shame to feed the subtle shoots
Pride digs deep its roots
Slowly sometimes roses bloom
Pushing up from the tomb
Vines climb from deep within
Atop a wall to begin again
Stoic
Moonlight Serenade
Shadow cast on moonlit lawn
Crickets chirp a familiar song
Tiny cast now plays along
Precious moments too soon gone
Firefly lighting sets the stage
Illuminate this twilight haze
No audience do they engage
Just simple words upon this page
Stoic
What Matters
Why can we not begin each day as if it was our first?
Why do we carry, a dead past forward?
That is gone, and this is this
I greet you anew, as you do too
Past never was
Only now
Face to face
Matters
Healing
A sigh revealed
Too long covered
Virtue and sin
Melded to one
Earth and sky
Taste of life
And knowing is
The return of love
