Ocho the Owl Dec 2013

So sullen
Sick and starved for hope
He flung the weight of the world
That he carried on his shoulders
Into the abyss...

Into the abyss...

His eyes now glisten brighter than ever...

A new light shines
on the putrid
Former chapter of
my life

ahead
are
greener pastures

I continue
my journey
with head held high
and heart kept warm

again....

So many slithering sunrises
came and went

A countless number of curses
Emerged from my tongue

and now?

on this day....

the sun glistens brighters than ever....

Stories & Statements #63 (The Four)

First, spring arrives
its leaves and grasses
meet fingers and toes with much glee and
anticipation

Then summer makes its appearance
who can ignore its boisterous
and sweltering presence?

Fall sneaks in
and subtly makes itself
right at home while we dance and sing

Then winter comes down on us
like a sledgehammer

How many times have these four come and gone?
How many will I see?

*The four continue forever into eternity...

Stories & Statements #62

Every once in a while
The gods will have pity
and grant you a single opportunity

One chance for redemption

Don't squander it
It may not come again for some time

If you happen to be
one of these fortunate souls

I salute you
and beg you...
Grab it
and never let go
