Blown of indignities,  what quiet yet hangs
Thought-beauteous well above them.
Enclose darknesses of all kinds. Still crowned
With Virtue's starry diadem....

On our promises;
The embraced darknesses;
Corrales our accomplishments;
Septic views of toxic waste;
Post makes haste;
Prominence

Lost in worldly darknesses searching for my light,Depleting every day only to reflect on the emptiness within stale daily routines,I weep for the lost and almost found,chaos has its own agenda,Time afflicts an unforgiving penance just to keep up with humanities pace, I struggle to find strength in blurred Instincts,Let my roots to my soul stem blessings upon all,For hope can grow higher than woes.....

at last my face begins to rest
at last my feet are curled
    warming on the soft plush carpet
fire for heat
    and light giving character
    in shadows and
        light darknesses
thoughts of the days happenings
fly like sparks
memories of a day adrift
    lazily stream into darkness
    night’s relaxing sooths
    full with sunset’s ease
    the books I’ve never written
    fall from the stars to me...

Sugar cubes and coffee grounds
May skies beckon birds soaring
Sunlit paths lead to fields of gold 
An exodus from darknesses’ gloom
Sail away to transitional fame 
In route to where u’re meant to be 
Appeal scorn’s judgement of you
A freedom sought is one to cherish 
Pages turn and chapters burn
Poetic notes break the mold
Offbeat tales bold and untold 
Dare to carve thru the untamed path
Play in the margins where rules decay 
Strive to recognize unstructured grace

keeper of the dawn,  whispers in my ear,

"it is time to let go"

with billowing smoke of afterthoughts,
excuses cloud visions most clear:

readying to shroud themselves once more
behind drawn curtains woven in Love's insights -
so as not to be seen or understood from again...

for faith walks in the shadow of light,
in darknesses alone...

its legs are trust that coast it forward,
as its hands grasp for support in anything while it flows
for trust is still wanting as it is yet to let go!...
