Broken hearts feel the dry March air;
A taut hollow now comes our way;
A certain chill brings death to bear.
In the last light when sleep brought rest,
Your soul found ease...

His demeanor looked like he was singing the psalms.
With folded hands, gazing at the sky he mutters.
The spewed words that tormented his grey matter.
Half naked, he sometimes sways,...

Become the past.

The people all agreed and said,
His hedonistic ways,

FragmentsConfronting conflict
So much to say;
Not much said
Momentary surge
Foolish inquisition;
Curiosity rambles
Trial and error
Foresight blurring;
Curious burdens pain

Turmoil in body-mind;
Forgetfulness lingers
Wandering in circles
Arrival starts ending;
Hurl new departures
Moment to moment
Change boomerangs;
Jigsaw puzzle gamble
Hidden agendas
Many pieces void;
Crazy feelings...

I just look his way.
What a Happy Day,
As I feel His warmth,
As I feel his...
