Waking up

Freely falling into an unknown
Not knowing what awaits.
Jump start of my heart,
Eyelids heavy but opening,
New sun and new hope...

Night fight

Looking away from the bright white light
My eyes see black,
and only the shadow of my fight.
Forged and etched into my tired night
I cannot sleep
Stars cannot die
I wonder if they hear my...

Twisted, blind curves of the road ahead
Unknown destination always too far away,
Confusion defeats anything your conscience said.
Dust clouds your vision of a new...

Foolish

Twisted lies melt together and churn,
While my heart is torn and it hurts with a burn
Fate now laughs at me from up above,
Because I was foolish to think this to be...

Rain falls to the soft ground,
Memories of the past are stirred.
Thunder rolls in the highlands,
The silent whispers go...

New Mexico

The orange red glow of the Organ Mountains at sunset
The rich green hills sitting in the distant horizon
Rain falling on them selectively.
The sky opens its arms for the earth’s warm embrace
This is New...

Shell

Screaming inside,
Nothing there.
Running out of ink
Shards of brevity I wear.

Empty shell.
Appearances deceive.
Moon shines down on this hell,
Pieces of identity...

Courage and Strength

Courage hides itself under the thick skin of fears
Release it when needed
Fortitude is vital as worry nears,
When life has gone cold no matter how you...

Heart attack

My cold hand reaches inward to my fading heart,
Ripping it out by the aortic seams,
Loose, weak stitches split open and apart
The blood inside now pooling across the floor,
This damage irreparable, it...

Breathing

Breathing into the space
Between being and seeing
Eyes up to the sky
Lungs floored
Empty handed

Years of learning
Another year to grow,
To know
Time on this earth is fleeting,
That one day this heart stops...

Muscle contracts with each brazen step
Heart beats with each moment of brief stillness
Spirit lunges forward into the light, into the night
The world keeps revolving in slow...

dirt

Roots holding me down, down...
Loose brown dirt teasingly crumbling apart around and in between the twisted tangled fingers of fiber
Showing minuscule glimpses of radiating light
Filtering through the dark and the damp and the dust
I push globs of...

You are my inspiration, my motivation;
The hope at the end of a much too rainy day,
The source of light that leads to a better way,
The hand that instantly molds my spirit like wet...

Good and Bye

Shifting into focus
Into new space
Somewhere in between
Saying goodbye
Saying I love you
Saying goodbye again
Whispering to the end
Out of breath
Last steps of then
New breaths of again
This time
Softly - surely -...

Visceral golden haze
The sun seeps into my blood flow
Melting what I think I know
Dancing into my...

Love is this train that arrives docking at my heart
Slowing its beat and showing me
Deep lights that filter through its windows
Shining on my...
