Soul’s Imperil

Embrace the lost
creative gift
Keep it closest
to your heart

Ignore it
at your soul’s imperil 
Whose ire tears
— your world apart

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)

Mistral Wind

First
Last
And Always
— say something

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)


Symbiosis

Without real freedom
true privacy dies
The right to our secrets
— in liberty lies

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)



Echoes Surround

You’ve been leaving
since before you arrived
The seeds of denial
 you planted inside

To run in the wasteland
where echoes surround
An orphan retreating
— despoiled and bound


(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)

Without The Dark

No saint
without a past
No sinner
without a future
No faith
without a doubt
No light 
— without the dark

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)



A Verbal Palette

A Poem is but a picture
— painted with words

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)


Leading Us Onward

Beautiful
chaos
A wonderous 
chime
That rings
beyond order
And seeks
to defy

Leading
us onward
Calling
our name
Beyond
what’s endemic
Resplendence 
— ordained

(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)


Looking Deeper

Did you ever love 
what’s in the box
But hate
 the way it’s wrapped

The politics
of modern life
Repels
— what it attracts

(Dreamsleep: March, 2027)
