Shores of Mercy

I hesitated—tumbling numb into another
cavern—mined in my own bastions of fear…”

immersed in a placid teal sea
protected in the chest of my heart..."

“there are times—I wish I could be small again
holding tight to azure dreams of an old friend
a mind—that once reliably waited on my voice
in dark partitions of my steely—spinning fears”
Snowfall

Dreams That Become Us
“trapped in places—we dared not venture
fixed in shapes—we risked not touch
arrayed in colors—we often ignored
traveling in lifestyles—we did not understand
and speaking in voices—we failed to hear”
