James Marshall Goff Poet Free verse

Pathways of my Mind

Somewhere 

Between the nascent light
                     and
                Everlasting 

Peace drifts motionless 
Like the painless waves
Washing over us when

Neither sleep nor turgid
Strife possess our souls


                   my mind

Grinds into dust like the
Surface of Mars where
Darkness blinds

                        our

Worthy ambition in colors

                         not

                          yet

                    discovered
