The Stillness Holds a Universe Within
The breath becomes the anchor soft and slow, A gentle tide that ebbs and flows unseen. The clamor of the thoughts begins to go, A fading echo of what might have been. No grand pronouncements sought, no battles won, Just quiet witness to the restless mind, As layers peel like petals to the sun, And deeper currents start to intertwine. The world outside...

To one who holds my heart
I know you tired. Mind thinking about what my hands could do. Heart filled with hope is heart beats with a purpose. Tears of joy you never saw. Let missing you be a choice and right thing to do.

Every Moment Holds A Truth
Every event carries purpose, hidden deep within. Waiting for the right moment to reveal its true intent. Realizing ignorance is to blame for actions wishing to be undone. Unaware of the outcome, when consequences are spun. Regrets of the past linger, unchangeable and stark, Echoes of our actions, leaving an indelible mark. We often fail to see the cost of love...

Premium Member God Holds Tomorrow
God Holds Tomorrow Miracle Man 8/10/2024 Yesterday is a boarded up hotel, where memories seek their rest. We keep them locked up tight, but on review at our behest. Today is the sidewalk where many, are forced to pitch their tent. Added to capacity daily, by each clock tick that’s spent. Tomorrow is mere uncertainty, which never sees the light of day. For each welcome of...

What Love Holds On To
Love clutches memories like precious pearls, A necklace of moments, each a treasure. It grasps hope, a kite in life's wild swirls, Flying high above storms we can't measure. Love clings to promises, fragile as lace, Yet strong as the roots of an ancient tree. It embraces trust, a warm, safe place, A harbor in life's tumultuous sea. What love holds on to,...

Lineage Holds
A man loses his father and adulthood begins Bathwater draining the baby within A son who is sireless new destiny’s child Whose choice is to run or to stand and beguile Alone with his memories one image sustains The voice but a whisper its spirit reclaimed To carry the title his lineage holds A surname retendered —new history untold (The New Room: July, 2023)...

Premium Member Though She Leaves, My Muse Still Holds My Heart
Should my muse depart from me, I'd love her still; and pen songs and odes of dulcet rhymes, singing of love uncommon, and warmest climes with hearts afire, for there's none above her. But she feels great sadness; for she needs more time to...
