Life greeted Death
with an epoch
from the depths of dusk
with a dawn,

Clouds turn to waves

I feel so close to him
See our sameness

disrupting lives that cling to breath
in e’er untimely mortal death,
for Nature has the upper hand.

Despite the undertakings...

that she would enjoy for just an inkling of the spell
cast in the joy wherein I myself immerse,
when I drink in the drafts...

Speak softly to my weary heart,
'lest it's shattered pieces collapse,
avalanching itself,
to be buried in the depths of sorrow,
never again to be recovered.

Hold gently my withered self esteem,
if you can find it,
'lest it disinegrate to the...
