A rustic birdhouse perches

As our forefathers
Mourned amongst baobab trees in Uganda
Because we have been forsaken,
It is judgment day,
And we’re fearful.

Life's Journey

Life is a journey of endless miles.
Paths that are taken 
With footsteps that falter all the while
Mean other paths are forsaken.
So new life might awaken.

No Escape

A heavy ear
an empty heart
Breathless voice
with eyes that dart
Love forsaken
rebirthing pain
Hope redundant
—lost refrain

Premium Member Winding Desert Of Men

Minds, dusts merge on a running slate
Scorching sun aloft jilted men
Warming up like a sizzling plate
Winds whirling, bodies teeming ten
Trudging on a forsaken den.
