Twilight beckons
a wavering moon
Chasing the sunset
from darkening skies

Clouded reminder
renewal has come
Birthing new shadows
in fresh summer rain

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
The present is in your future,
the present in your past
The present a sacred mystery,
its moment to unmask
The present is in your memory,
the present in your dreams
The present neither begins nor ends
—eternity set free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
There is comfort and togetherness in eating good food,
It makes the soul sing.

I see the future
I see my whole world in flames
and I look away
Accidental events

Being
Unconsciously drawn
To a peril
You can control

Engendering loss

Unresolved grief

Is data
Not
Created equally
Coping with any loss isn't the same for everyone. Trying to understand.
Do you consider not being able to have something you desire a loss? Is the loss itself worse than the coping?
The master of sound.

Some day, one day, another, not this one, but
some one day in the ever after this one.
- Once
One day, I saw her, she was on the bus,
there was never a question,
Are you on the bus, or not?

And here we are today, forty years from then,
colligated at the heart strings,

since ever I saw, I knew, I know, not how but then,
a taste of what is to come,
now, as it were,
she looked at me and said, I trust you,
or, that is what I took it to mean,

ever being so sudden, at times.

dew rests on sheer leaves
as saplings lilt in the wind  
and I follow suit.
Escapril Day 21! Prompt: dew.
I have been tired lately, and this poem was inspired by that. I hope you are all doing well.
