Often
Believes in
Beauty it sees.

Emerald shine coated so
Buttery with white flowers
Usher of nature guiding through
Season's festooned flowery display
Heart often believes in beauty it sees

A Stranger

I am unseen
Existing on the outer rim of this place
One body among the astros of cosmic space

I am a listener
Absorbing every ounce of knowledge I can find
Reserved in a space of my mind

I am a shadow
Lurking among the halls
Seeking solace wherever the light falls

I am a serpent
Calm when at rest
Sorting through prey like a confetti fest

I am a visitor
Fresh new faces glaze over my eyes
Oversaturated smiles are met with shy sighs

I am distant from every peer
Bitten by the fangs of fear
Unrecognized by anyone
Stuck watching from a one-way mirror
I'm not someone who belongs

I am a Stranger

Holding Court

I'm holding court
In my home,
Not so regal
On my throne.
The peons line-up
As I moan,
Trying to pass
My kidney stones.

The Creep

love creeps deep in
vines and immerse
petty's wither out
bloom the universe

First breath

First breath

Through the stillness
Miracles rush around
A bridge of white light
Allowing all the truths
To pour like silken rain
Into the waiting hearts
Of those who yearn to
Know and return home
Great love resides here
Upon the silence of your
Very first inhale of breath
