40/M/Canada
She bears and breathes beneath the burden beneath bone-deep silence not broken, But becoming still and storing strength. The eagle watches with wide, waiting wings, Does not force the wind but riding the rough winds without rushing. The horse stumbles but stands, shakes off soil and still steps forward. And the ant small, steady, soft-footed, finds the fallen crumb, and carries the weight without complaint. She gathers herself, Again. Not in haste but in wholeness Not with fire but with breath.

She knows the way back
Lonely Nights Silent tears, fears, years. Tears wash away fears, Years drain silent tears, Locking away all the fears. Broken Dreams Shattered hopes, ropes, slopes. Hopes tied to frayed ropes, Slopes of despair, dreams elope, Locking away all the shattered hopes. Tearful Memories Pain, rain, drain. Rain washes away the pain, Drain discharged rain, Locking away all the pain. Guarded Heart Heart, rampart, dart. Painful rampart heart Blocks away sharp love darts Locking away the heavy heart. Hurtful Scars Hurt, dirt, chert. Hurtful scars stain like dirt. Dirt crystallizes in chert. Buried and inert, Locking away all that hurt.

Conundrum of Emotions
Your voice shakes the room and the surface of my heart, unleashing a seismic force of emotions washing over me. Your smile shines bright like the ocean surface Reflecting the blazing sun, Causing my heart to surge Like a small boat creating Horizons of oscillating waves. Your eyes gaze like shimmering sea, where each ripple a whisper, each crest a sigh, And I am forever lost in the depths of your eyes. With the power of your voice, intensity of your smile, and the ebb and flow of your ocean gaze I'm swept away to a journey With waves uncharted.

Waves Uncharted
As the grass fields hush, Longe a man, a lone sentinel, Awaiting in the night's embrace, By the river's mirror grace. Mountains watch quietly, Under swirling clouds With bright yellow stars, Dancing in the air. A house, a haven by the bank, Faces the man with silent thanks, Does he gaze at dreams unseen, Or yearn for home, lost memory?

Sentinel by the River's Edge
Beneath the sky, the stars evoke Dancing greens That takes flight In Earth's protective cloak A steadfast stroke. This magnetic dance Is a love creation Of the sun's energy With Earth's synergy, A kiss of peace And nature's masterpiece That gives us a chance To witness nature’s delight Under the blanket night.

Dancing greens
I fetched my coat And walked to the boat By the dock, Trying to escape on a whim, Then realized I didn't know how to swim. I decided to paddle through calm waters, To adventure like any other, Trying to embrace the unknown then realized in waters deep My courage overthrown. I kept pressing on Through the unclear horizon, Trying to anchor my fears and to catch up with time, I then realized I had drifted for years. Adrift in a sea of uncertainty, With waves of doubts crashing against me I tried to navigate the doldrums I then realized the harsh reality, With No refuge found, my spirit succumbs. Alas, I will keep Rolling the dice Hoping luck will suffice, Until the weather is nice again.

At least the weather is nice
Trying to fall asleep is like chasing elusive shadows Where each breath is a remembrance of meadows. What must I do to stop chasing the nights Filled with disarrays? Where the rooms Are just a war zone In a deep trench of my own. Like an infantry soldier fighting sandman, I surrender Nights of quiet meadows Where the heart is pierced by Insomniac arrows. In what dance must I partake to find sleep that hides deep Within the sleep cycle REMs? Where each attempted cycle Becomes a failed composition Like writing a waltz symphony With a broken harmony. Must I obtain the dream catchers to unfold the nights? Sleep is like a fleeting flirtation Slipping away in fractured chaos Leaving the mind grasping for direction.

Insomnia
Born without sin, I am imbued with the mask of humility. The masks of fate, gift me its shame and unyielding hold. For what is man but a puppet, Who wears masks to fulfill his own desires? The masks of fate, forever eternal. The silent skin that scorns our unwitting souls

The masks of fate
On parchment papers My life unfolds, And a sense of wonder beholds those who read its pages. The story is revealed, no need to query, Each brushstroke is a word of journey With every tale in ink, along the bay, A story untold that will forever stay, And become visible, For others to read and understand. Where I also, Will forever be, A man on a page.

The Man on a page.
Am I to journey Sacred hot desert of the Sahara, To find my flora? Am I to decipher Secret Golden Sands? While Navigating Open Oasis drylands, To seek solace in These Lush Highlands. Would I need to travel Kingdom of Safari? Like a canary, finding its mantra, And crafting each stanza. Would I need to go through Tiger's and Lion's den? Roaring courage, and Bravery like mighty men. Just so I can chase down delicate flutters, Of butterflies' glimmers. In this adventure trip, I will journey Through wild terrains, and the sun's safari, Where there exists Love and happiness. Where hope blooms like flora, In this Oasis arid area. I will find my sanctuary. In the rarest destiny.
