The Pride And The Longing
The Pride And The Longing
One man’s ‘Old Days’
another man’s ‘New’
Chasing a memory
the pilgrim is due
One reminisces
what one only schemes
The pride and the longing
— two sides of a dream
(Ardmore Pennsylvania: June, 2025)
Shades Of Gray
Mixing wheat
with the chaff
The good
with the bad
In shadings
of gray
The truth
finds a home
Taking shape
from the whole
When shunning
both ends
Polarity’s
vanish
And clarity
— shown
(Ardmore Pennsylvania: June, 2025)
