The Journey – Part IV: Peace and Goodwill

I surge ahead on a path of clarity,

Form a relationship of fragile parity,

Between twin souls – darkness, light,

Peace and goodwill, the gifts of sight.

The Journey – Part III: Surrender

I surrender to the storm within,

A force of nature to reckon with,

I surrender while I’m alive still,

Lest I forget both reason and will.

The Journey – Part II: Inner Dream

I drift on cloudy thoughts and dreams,

On memories that shift at the seams,

I see a void – transient, deep,

Venture in through the fissures of sleep.

The Journey – Part I: Turmoil

I toss and turn as darkness falls,

No cloaks of comfort to recall,

I toss and turn on stormy seas,

Inner wisdom just out of reach.

Entity

From beyond the grave you found me,

A melody – lost and lorn,
Your skeletal fingers caressed me,
My life – no more my own.

From beyond the grave you touched me,
Nameless, forgotten soul,
Your lips of moss – brushed me,
A sigh – my last breath whole.

And as the moon glides softly by,
My breath, on wings, the breeze does find,
Dust to dust,
Petals crushed,
The fragrance fresh, once mine - not mine.

From beyond the grave you saved me,
A whisper – tender, true;
Your breath I felt beside me,
As my soul journeyed t’wards the new.

Shadow Moon

Blood red roses,

Scattered past,

House of sorrows,

Shadows cast.

A Million Little Pieces

Fragments cold

Stories old

Tainted snowdrops; frozen teardrops

Stories cold

Fragments old.

Broken pottery

Unspoken mysteries

Splintered footprints; bloodied fingerprints

Mysteries unspoken

Pottery broken.

Dusty floors

Unhinged doors

Withered leaves; insidious disease

Unhinged doors

Dusty floors.

Moonbeam river

Sunlight quiver

Caterpillar to butterfly; healing touch – Giver of Life

Moonbeam quiver

Sunlight river.
