I  did that for you
...didn't I?

yet now,
I feel empty
inside.

If I offered my gift
did I take it from me?

Tell me

What really is
Authenticity?

...

Where does it reside?

Can it be captured?

held?

OR

will it always
at random
dry the well?

Who is this for?

and is it needed?

Some days like
sunshine

but others feel
depleted.

Look Left
Oh oops,
they went Right

Great desire to learn
met with shame and fright

Balance is fair
to those who weigh the most

Captivating
is the sly fox's coat

The choice is yours,
but don't you dare

A single-file line
met with great fan-fair

Good job
Pat-pat
Kindly, stay there.

This image is real
AI made it with care

There's depth to the story
But the cover says it all

You're ready to up-lift?

Oh oops,
the mic went dead

try again

next quarter

or

next       ...Fall

Dancing on the waters edge
Warm Bright Light

Kissing the Mountain Tops
As we say good night

Penetrating skin's surface
Could soothe or burn

Near Infrared Light
Said to heal we learn

But the sky is changing
or are we just further away

Sunken in tunnels
With lights of blue

Alert
Awake
Far from you...
