Beauty

Beauty is all around me, in a million different things.
The silvery haired, wrinkled face of one that has impenetrable memories
She smiles and longs for someone, anyone to bust her out of her prison of silence.
It...

softly dancing through the breeze that

I don't praise fools,
I'm not that kinda man
Those who bend the rules,
I don't shake their hand

with pumpkin smiles and eerie screams.
The cold moon radiates its bright light

all is silent and so very still
waiting, listening, and breathless

as night descends, casting darkness

The cold seeping chilling  denseness

Another label and story

Labels and stories..

It is a pine tree with

Nothing atop and a

Wide flaring skirt below..

Nothing and everything..

Sameness up and down:

Nothing appears as

Sense this feeling heavy and deep;
Light feels blurry etching fatigue;
Each stride now brings a drowsy sleep;
Each step weary voicing a leak;
Promptly slowing, yielding to rest;
