Hope
Dwindles
Changing course
Of time and space
With glacial winds suffocating my whole
And absence of color within the snow
With the harshness
Of yearning
Dwindles
Hope....

A Humane Tableau

There you are good friends
beloved and loving
joyous and kindly
each time I go by
life filled with harshness
still you say breathe in

Hey you!
I look for you,
In the stars so bright.

Hey you!
I walk for you,
In the deep dark night.

Hey you!
I stood for you,
In the harshness of day light.

sparrows dance 
on the skeleton tree limbs 
beneath the winter sun
suddenly they take flight 
bringing their music to the sky
with the harshness of the wing
leaving me a solitary man
in a world without birds...

Mimetic mimicry mimicked the mime.
More than furlong, the entire belonging day long.
Prophet, the proper property, pope prophecy.
Hardhearted harshness tied a fair harness.
Shepherd herding sheep, harder in a herder way....

The empty spot on the wall,
Is the darkness within the silver lining.
Self conceived and echoed through your hollow chest. 
Enveloped by the speed of change 
and humbled by the harshness of time.
Dry your face and drive your car....

Wash day
With clothes on lines
Frozen sheets without life
Winters' breath blows intense harshness
Secrets revealed between two broken hearts
Sadness entwined between the two
No hope of warm breezes
Now's the time for
Wash day...

Deliberate visualizations of the mind
Releasing inhibitions, so fervently
Escaping the harshness of the daily grind
Allowing one’s self to then be free
Making good use of time there to find
Secretly being who and with whom you wish to be...

Jagged like spurs, harshness of curs
Relying on instinct
Spewing slurs, heart’s radiance blurs
Roaming ego’s precinct

We flounder in stupor
Rabid desires anchor 
Enmeshment in rancour

Ragged
Jagged

The toll of this harshness grinds my bones which now lie bleached in the searing sun. Painful knowledge of ecstasy no longer mine. No greater sorrow exist than the intoxicating memory of you now no more to be. The void infinite and cold,  this emptiness black in its totality....

Winter chills air;
      birds flock and feed from berries
      before the famine

      Sheep graze greedily;
      Keen eyed buzzards pick off  prey
      nature's bleak beauty 

      When winter is done;
      Birds will welcome spring and sing
      for joy each new dawn...

Iridescent gossamer Dragonfly
Sparkles vividly in a haze of sunlight
Reflecting lucent pools and streams
Dining on frog spider and termite

Colorful transformations glittering
Decisively emerging in lakes or marshes
Zealously protecting her territory
Equilibrium balancing harshness...

As I Walk in winters cold
children seek warmth
amid parental windbreaks
disrupted by winters harshness
school buses arriving late
as for the sighs I hear
maybe it's just the wind
or if possible
the sound of my heartache

Daniel, Christina, Christopher, Alexandria 
I love and miss you all....

Crystal branches crack,
a sharp wintry orchestra,
flowing through the air.

Light cascades on snow,
diamonds falling from the sky,
meet the shining earth.

Icicles hanging,
precariously balanced,
show beauties danger.

The winter ice storm,
in all her harshness and rage, 
has shown her beauty....

You left so easily, 
for solid reason too, 
I stopped seeking caress and love
Only harshness and brutality 
Cold air and freezing rain
It makes me feel alive 
I’m ****ed up gone 
Blasted awake 
I’m stoic Irish 
And I’ll take it to the grave.
Night is my day
And I’m searching for a light 
So far away...

Grievous Words
By: Miracle Man
August 15,2020 

The harshness of a persons voice,
can distort the intent of a spoken word.
Though an apology always comes by choice,
it won’t erase any damage incurred.


Proverbs 15:1
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
