In the grey world,
A red squirrel
Is running frantically through the whiteness of fields.
Be sophisticated:
Don't make your life complicated,
Make it simple.
In each room
There is only one elephant,
To get you confused.
a miracle
is always around the corner,
wherever you turn,
it's right behind your back.

Helpless to overcome the failings,

The fall out of a selfish, cowardly man

Heart broken, fury stoking, a mother

Does all she can
                             And then some


She’ll work until her fingers break

Holding tears, enveloped in rage

Impossible tasks she'll power through

A mother’s love will do
                                       As it needs to

Writing poetry
Can be so much fun
Words on a page
Expressing unknown
Thoughts
Deep within us
Many times
I don’t even know
Where the words are coming from
Like, they just are
Set deep within me
Rising to the surface
To share

I always thought
That life was real
And now I realize
That we’re all just playing a game
Of Hide and Seek

When will I learn
To just play the game
And not get involved
In the outcome?
Or, am I supposed to feel
And connect, and become a part of
The evolution
Of
Corruption

Sometimes I wonder about life
What it is that calls to me
In the darkness of my unknowing
I wonder what truly lies
At the depths of my be ing
Reaching out to catch me
As I fall into
The abyss
Not knowing is the sign
Of true compassion
Of true humility
Of a trust that is so deep
And so wide
That I fear not
The fall

Isn’t it weird
That poetry
Is my best friend
And words are used
To express
My love

Chairs in the room
Vacant
Because
Alone
Requires
Emptiness

On the table
Papers
Requiring attention
Strewn to the side
And left
Alone

Fire in the hearth
No one
To watch it

Empty room
Amply furnished
Ticking clocks
No one
To listen
