What My Mother Does After My Father's Death
She finds a bird fallen from its nest, crashed like an apple to the ground. Sliding her fingers through the rain soaked grass, she scoops the quivering ball of feathers into her palm. She takes it inside, to the same kitchen where she wept over her dead husband every night for nearly a decade. She feeds it baby formula from an eye-dropper, whispering I believe in...

Contentment
I had overeaten. So I reached inside myself And pulled up whatever could be pulled up From strength that I could muster up I labored long and hard And eventually brought forth Snow capped mountains And sky scrapers dignified by the rays of the sun And the tallest pines with cones intact And stars draped with clouds, silver lined And song birds with half-sung melodies...

Premium Member Tears
So many tears – throughout the years Tears of doubt when I hoped to find out That love would win – against my sin Tears of yearning in my heart, gently burning Filling me with an ache – but I didn’t break Tears of compassion who’re never out of fashion Though understanding left my soul withstanding So many tears who could quiet...

The Ballad of the Sun-Wept Daughter
Once upon tomorrow A beautiful young star Found herself in sorrow With a bruised and broken heart. For her lover left her dying As he rode away to haunt her So the young star started crying, Giving birth to her sons and daughters. To restart their mother's work They drifted into space But one drifted down to earth With her beautiful sun-wept face. She landed near my...

Premium Member Unsent Letters
Those who’ve gone on before me… what I would have liked to have told them – in those unsent letters, those unwritten stories, those unbroken promises, those unsteady poems, those unbleached memoirs – before the grief felt like I’d been struck by a train going way beyond its tracks, way beyond its route, way beyond...

Premium Member as the sun rose the darkness wept
As the sun rose the darkness wept As it set it crept back into that darkness An old wolf wondered “what really happened?” “had he been raised …by humans!!” He could not return to the den For he was a “self-cast” outcast Uncomfortable with “wolf” ways Oh, he howled But not at the moon He howled at the wind For it had no past Existed only here….now Growled at...

1.) Slept most of my life Forget the stress The best kind of strife is the kind kept repressed Every guy just gotta accept we’re inclined to becoming depressed You’ll never cry Except if you gotta a good reason why Keep your eye dressed If you’re clever You’ll keep your tears dry I’ve wept without the...

Premium Member With Tears
Silent tears hold the loudest pain - author unknown. Just when I think no one will know, There comes a soft and gentle flow, Silently sighing o’er the light, Stirring my heart’s kindness to glow. Reflected on moments so bright, Painting my soul with dreams I write, Vows broken never can reveal, Spoken by those who know my plight. Wonders, breathless, are quite real, Capture...

Premium Member One More Day
One more day I slept serene, while some where distant bombs and screams awaken others from their dreams.. One more day I quenched my thirst while others trapped and feared the worst, living out war's curse. One more day I tidied, swept, while elsewhere children died, mothers wept, cried in anguish, so bereft.. One more day my skies were blue. I ventured out with things...

Soul, Where Art Thy
Soul, Soul, where art thee? I lie sleepeth, in the halls of the underworld, as my spirit roam freely, reincarnating as different beings, going in and out of existence. When the flower of life, gives life, my soul awakens from a deep rooted sleep. As I travel down the vine, matter begins to shape and mold me, as a body awaits for my return. Bright...
