The pursuit of truth
a lonely endeavor
In stark isolation
veracity found

A choice must be made
to weather the maelstrom
The trek all consuming
— onto higher ground

Frozen Moments

Feelings stored
in words
the letters revive

Time rudely
halted
— the moment alive

Cross Hairs

To a hammer
everything
looks like a nail

To a writer
everything
looks like a tale

To a hunter
everything
looks like a ****

To a prophet
everything
— unto his will

Water Divine

Have you built
a cathedral
with language
unblessed

Adopting an
Angel
your spirit
redressed

Have you
filtered the
verbiage
with water Divine

The Savior
within
you
— still waiting to find

Arctic Winds

Once the fire goes out
it never comes back

The heat dissipating
all light to retract

Tomorrow in darkness
the future untold

To wander inclement
— left out in the cold

(The New Room: August, 2024)

Orphan Of Wind

Without our dreams
we sit naked and alone
Imprisoned by doldrums
adrift from our home

In fits of depression
we unstep the mast
Awaiting the storm
— of futures long past

(The New Room: August, 2024)

Last Chance

Hearing
my thoughts
I considered
again
Last chance
to refashion
What time
whittles thin

Word after
word
They pass by
in refrain
Assuaging my
doubts
Repeating
— my name
