"dark waters haunt me—
with my Scottish name—Douglas
meaning dark river..."
"above spilled bones of dead trees
she still—takes my breath away..."
"sunk in cold despair
deep in my eternal night
I hear saving light..."
“beneath leaves of shade
countless ancestors water
a blooming garden…”
“flames burn my safe air
and blanket my moon in blood…”
“my heart bleeds blue tears
when politicos transform
Jesus Christ’s image…”
“howls revere spring nights
her masked moon shivers tales
in strawberry light…”
“summer’s breath of dawn
unfolds gold with early light”
“political squalls
creep into my swirling mind”
“anxious—pretty memes
sprouting zealous soft color
praise your swift plucking”
“my relentless fears—”
“in life’s deep abyss
my river smooths jagged stones”
“Dear Father—I pray
unchain me from dark’s shrill taunts…”
“pensive—lucent nights
spill warm glimmers of morning
over tortured dreams…”
“…when gravity paints its light
hope is not defined by time”
“endless memories
kindling celestial time…”
“sunset’s last breath sighs
as time draws brief—wanted rest”
“truth enlightens minds
fusing knowledge with purpose”
“cosmic sparks ignite
vast lights of science and faith”
“alternates grasp fake
while truth adapts to green growth”
