Wells of feeling
Fathomless
Finding my own depths
Endless
Exhilarating joy
Unbounded
Incurable loss
Surrounded
No rise without a fall
No ebb without a flow
No whisper without a call
No kiss without a soul
Wells of feeling
Fathomless
Finding my own depths
Endless
Exhilarating joy
Unbounded
Incurable loss
Surrounded
No rise without a fall
No ebb without a flow
No whisper without a call
No kiss without a soul
Chalk
Like words
Is impermanent
It leaves a mark
Soon erased by time and rain
Love notes
Like water activated tattoos
The tramp stamp is temporary
Is this fortune or misfortune?
The words you treasure from “the one”
May mean nothing in their heart
When the war is done
Does fortune favor the weak?
When words that defiled
Are razed to rubble
Through the recycling of memories?
Waking dreams
Bending light
Shifting focus
Blinding night
Calming voice
Singing mass
Easing slowly
Falling fast
Gazing forward
Stepping back
Curving moments
Lying flat
This is the pulse of the next
Beating in lungs from the heart
It’s you and me and an open canvas
Our connection will be the art
A chilly evening
A no kids calling evening
A missing you evening
Like every other
Yet a standout evening
A one text evening
A song sending evening
A year ending evening
Just like the rest
Yet a beginning evening
A cave painting evening
A dish washing evening
A coffee drinking evening
Just like the mornings
A friend proving evening
A spirit centering evening
A song in the field evening
A starry picnic table evening
Like so many others
Yet a back to basics evening
Soul-tired
Yes, there is lack of sleep
But this is an absence of rest
No actuality of respite
And no omens of relief
Pillow
Heart pounding
Wheel
Heart pounding
Inhaling
Heart pounding
Exhaling
Heart pounding
Living
Heart pounding
The smallest bullets
The effect of a mortar
The shortest words
The impact of a paragraph
I have a quiet strength
Externally
I have the loudest din
Internally
Soul-tired
Lucidity
Enhanced by tension
Awareness of hands moving
Clockwise
Humility
A judge’s decision
All your effort
Wayside
Tranquility
Broken by spoken mind
Truth heralds
Responsibility
Struggles in this moment
Worries for the next
Heartbeat racing
Lucidity
