My Poetry and Prose Blogology
Some Dreams Evolve
“while appearing to subsist in normality
encircled by lights of love and security—
not every shape of life we encounter
floats on calm mirrors of untainted waters…”
Three Superpowers
“this divine therapy shaped me well—
three indomitable powers of time
molded into water, ice, and wind…”
A Raven’s Haunt
“an unkindness of dreary—obscure ravens
preach precariously upon my pitiful perch “
Lest We Forget
“in the end—we realize we never noticed the beauty
—because we were too busy trying to create it “
Learning to Listen
“if you become lodged in cracks of despair
learn to listen to your quiet spirit’s guide
and it will bind you to a warmer paradise”
An Impending Storm
“I seem to recall a similar cauldron of desperation
again—it feels like an immense storm is brewing”
Be The Now
“peacemakers are artists of time
sculpting the present moment
as they brush over drab melancholy”

Life is Hard
“long after all my enraged eruptions end
earthquake shudders soften into silence
penetrating diamonds of harsh hails hush”

My Only Home
“evil minions of the grey and cold rule
within my hideout of emotional numbing
absorbing the season’s warmth and kindness”
