Unpolished Ink
The most twisted oaks
Stand strong and weather a storm
When younger trees fall
If you believed the media youth wins every time. How do you think these oldies got to be so old?

the sun-fired clouds
cannot consume
the cool-blue slivers
of tonight’s sky

as nameless colors
dance to the rhythm
of fire and ice
in twilight’s silent waltz

just as many truths
are left unuttered
their presence being felt
but obscured by words
9/28 - sunset was a beautiful cardinal-orange that defied description but the abysmal-deep blue sky peeking out between the fiery clouds was breathtaking...  a loving reminder to never forget the sacred space between the lines.

There's an elephant
in the boardroom
here's the scapegoat.......
in the tearoom.

The armour's tight.
A shield against
emotion.
A shield against
commitment.
Better to bury your head,
avoiding confrontation
than to be honest instead.
