Reigns of Sunshine Echo Across these Icy Sundials.
Frozen Ring, upon Ring, upon Ring, of trapped water.
Captivating my Eyes,
Arresting my Morning Walk,
Enveloping my Mind,
Ensnaring me in the Timeless Impressions of these Mythical Footprints.
Leading me Away from all that is Ordinary, Disposing of all these Daily Burdens,
Now I am Free to Trace the Path of Frost Giants.

I hold my breath
The pause of anxiety
Stacked in layers
Tight segments
Up and down my throat
I can breathe
But the next breath comes alive
Out of my control
It hesitates
It senses itself
Stress has taken it over
I am fractured
My soul surges to counter
The uncertainty
That panicked feeling
My voice internal is muted
So with unknit pieces
I listen, I wait, I hope
I beg my remaining intellect
"Please hold your own"
I plead with my nervous system
"Reform this precarious column"
Settle my skull, my chest, my bowels
Don't collapse
Breathe
My next breath comes

I can do nothing wrong.
Look at my virtues!
Not a single seed of conceit.
And I gain strength,
Upon strength, upon strength
By my good deeds I accumulate virtuosity.
Beyond compare of men around me.
Others envy my hallowed halls.
No other man can match my serenity.
It is so complete!
I know only the high roads.
I travel only the nobel path before me.
Paladin that I am.
When I am betrayed, so be it.
I am good,
Good beyond measures measure.
I forgive completely and effortlessly!
Because I am so much more than the aspersions of my counterparts
Superiority has nothing to do with my superiority over them!
I am good and they are conniving.
Soulless philanders!
I owe them nothing,
They are the dust under my feet
Hold...
Who is this embargoed self?
I am infected by virtuosity not cured by it...
Strength?
How so?
I am so deeply committed to my own pain that I have becomes its daily companion
Serene?
So wishful!
I am hidden, my guise betrays me.
My feelings dismantle me.
Good?
No!
My grief is helplessly tethered to cold stone like a chained submissive animal
Then Humility whispers,
"examine the roots,"
My roots sustain me.
"are you present?"
I am not present.
"you are enough,"
I am not enough.
"you are loved,"
I must learn how to love myself again.
"you have wisdom,"
Someday I will abandon this faulty Substance of a Man

What is this thing I have built with hands?
Lifting sand instead of mortar
That sifts through my fingers
Rubble
Distant memories
Dry and unrefreshing
What is this thing I have built with mind?
Heretic thought between my temples
That strays along neurotic paths
Drunkards
Stumbling memories
Distressed and unravelling
What is this thing I have built with soul?
A heavy heart on thin ice
That splits the seams of hope
Graceless
Fading memories
Crumbling and sinking

Spin, Spun, Undone, Me
And the obvious hurts, me
My Hertz of Pain
My thousands of beats per second
My watershed of tears
I tear my skin rather than letting it shed
I let, let me rent a place on a bench
Staring at Banksy's walls

Sea thief
Little daughter
About to disturb water
Joy amongst toys
Astounding smile
As you buoy that blue pearl
Love yourself
Lovely lady
And shelf that smile next to your ducky
Kingdom queen
Bubble crown
Manage those tides between your feet

Atmosphere
Leaves blow in a northward wind
Directions of smell
Loud ground effects
Long light cloudy rain
Red orange and meringue
Dancing needles and leaves
Wind that dries the cheeks
Decay and a mingle of vibrancy
Brittle leaves crackle and chatter
Pushed
Why am I in this place?
Why do gusts answer,
Soundless questions only for me,
A conversation

Lost where you are
Lost for a long time
Lost for words
Lost for feelings
Come back to me my friend
Come to your place among us
Come here to find what was never lost
Come home
Standing on your skiff
Standing at the edge
Standing tall with sunlight jets
Standing on the precipice of next
Out on open water
Out between drafts of wind
Out amongst woodland hills
Out there hiding on the expanse
Let your tide come in
Let yourself sit down
Let yourself navigate by daylight
Let your discovery happen
The shoreline is sandy and warm
The slope is gentle and the ground soft
The sounds are rhythmic and calming
The sense of yourself will be strong and sturdy
Here is familiar
Here all your feelings are felt
Here you won't feel forgotten
Here family is waiting

Babe emerges into life
Her intellect springs anew
Looking, looking to learn and do
Child gains speech
His voice resounding outward
Speaking, Speaking no longer just spoken to
Youth embraces rebellion
Her subtlety develops covert tones
Silent, silent outside but so loud within
Adult looks forward
His plans eclipse his dreams
Doing, doing endlessly doing
Mother always busy
Her need to to drown
Working, working through life
Father anchored here
His collar heavy with duty
Lifting, lifting the weight of the earth
Aged passenger on a trip
They have done generations of travel
Born, born again to unravel

I am capable of anger
I am capable of compassion
I am white hot rage
Tempered only by the skulls
Skulls beneath my feet
Unworthy feet to touch Golgotha
Unworthy feet to dangle on the tree before me
Cleanse my feet!
Grace of God,
Your example crucified
The indwelling of light on my soul.
I am not capable of forgiveness
My compassion does not endure
Humility and broken humanness collide
I am grounded to shadow
Holy Spirit be my strength
Without it I have no capacity to forgive.
Only to rage on
And it's so ******* hard
Because I am human
