Trapped in a
ditch
on the highway
of life
Comings
were going
all motion
had gone

Till fates
saving whisper
in the ear
of tomorrow
Granted me
traction
in search
— of the dawn

Spitting In The Wind

You can’t destroy
a word
like vanquishing
an enemy

Its meaning cast
immortal
beyond
— victory or death

If Only ...

We could’ve
we would’ve
we should’ve
— but we didn’t

Free Bird

Oh
to leave all chains
on top
of the mountain

Oh
to leave a world
setting
— everything free

Empty Space

I don’t know
what it is

I know
what it isn’t

Revealed
in the offing

An image
— takes form

Xylem Ablaze

He climbed atop
an oak on fire
Its sap transformed
by flames concealed

Each branch he passed
a year he traded
For what’s unseen
— by heat congealed

Flash Dancing

True innovation
emerges
from disruption
The sparks
of collision
— lighting the way
