Tom D Jan 26
As I find myself standing
at the foot of this hole
A ***** in my hand
A little angst in my soul
I ask the same question
Again and again
Do I dig the hole deeper
of do I fill it in?
Tom D Jan 26
White represents
The innocence of birth
Never will the slate be so clean
Black represents
The contemplation of death
And red all the passion between
Tom D Jan 24
He fears what he fears
but , that is all that he fears
Then, that look of relief
as he looks in the mirror
“At least I don’t fear imperfection”
Tom D Jan 23
Help break this need
to be so busy
Pursuing self-worth
in such a tizzy
To know the value
of my birth
To be secure
in my own worth
To help myself
To do my best
To stop
To sleep
To truly rest
Tom D Jan 20
The bush burns brightly
in the freshly laid snow
When the light of the sun
sets it aglow
Like an apple of gold
in a silver picture
The scene
It breathes
the proverbial scripture
Tom D Jan 19
To be yourself
or not to be yourself
That is the question
Tom D Jan 18
The face that lives
inside the blot
is content today
not to stir the ***
To disturb the peace
is to break the lease
with the only friend
the man has got
