Geometrically
Progressing
Each Day
Valued more
The closer
The end
The sweeter
The lure

***** water
washes away
poetic indifference

Leaving the stain
of what will be
—on what forever might have been

The Key

Putting God
into human terms
that we can understand
Obverts the beauty
concepts like the Trinity
command
Within our souls
within our hearts
the key to something more
Crossing over
on Heaven’s light bridge
—Beatific pure

Perspicacity

**** one man
and you go
to the gallows
**** one hundred
and you’re lauded
a hero
Intention like rain
falls on
mountain and plain
The one
flowing downward
—the other to drain

Dark Shadows

Is there room
in your ignorance
for truth to creep in

Are the doors
closed and locked
from inside and within

Will the light
truly gifted
pass over and by

Is your meadow
a wasteland
—and haven for lies

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

The Chains Are Off

No more
a student
My soul
reclaimed
My thoughts
my own
The truth
—regained

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

Until That Day

Never lend your wealth
or nobility to others
What can’t be given must be kept
—till providence comes to claim

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)
