Jewels of Awe

Cast a thousand bones into the night 

And let loose the chains of boredom

Let me be born into the world of

Enchantment

Repeatedly and without caution

Let my steps take me up stairs

Bearing light

And 

Irresistible fruits

 

Jewels of awe

Upon My Soul

On ground of sacred Earth



The ringing of bells



Can be heard



Calling us to remember



A truth veiled lightly



In a blanket of forgetfulness



I’ll find me there



Where angel’s songs 



Upon my ears



Do greet the morning sun



And in the cracks



My worthiness



I left unkempt



In a long forgotten place



Sullen



The road more frequently traveled



When joy forgot her face



The child inside



A voice so long unheard



Safely tucked into the womb



Of love’s sweet arms



Woven of all that glitters

Of My Despair

In the darkness
Of my despair
I wondered
Where I had gone
The mirror
Having no answers
For me
Where I looked
Only to find
Wistful eyes
Wistful for what?
The man I love
Or
Myself?

Bowl of Fruit

Your face
Turns dark
A shadow on the wall
Hides from view

I miss the sight
Of love
The scent of morning dew

Dust fills the room
Paintings hang
Upside down

Fruit sits quietly
In a bowl
Waiting…

To be eaten

Death

I’ll never see your face again
Or hear your laughter
As days go by
I remember you still, as you were
When you were still here
With swollen tears
And a heart that aches
I’ll never again feel your embrace
Even though your spirit is here
It’s just not the same
As hearing your voice
And seeing you near
No more tomorrows will hold you
Only yesterday remains
Yet the sun still sets and the stars burn bright
The morning becomes day
The day becomes night
But you are not here
And the sorrow and pain
That death can claim
Bring heavy hands
It’s just not the same
And I wish that you were still here
With footsteps light
And laughter long

Refinement

Sailing through
The odyssey of my mind
I capture moments in time
Like a photograph etched in my soul
Absorbed by my heart

The experience of life
The joys and sorrows of living
The essence of my being

The me I am now colored by
The road I have traveled on
The love I have felt
The people I have known

These are the treasures  I hold
Deep inside of me each moment
Refining my soul through time

Vanity's Allure

The place of ego
I know it well
It’s been my friend, a lover
The words that kept me 
From moving forward 
Kept me from going up when I was down
Created illusions that comforted me
Showed me doors
With superficial treasures
What grace brought me to this authenticity?
What gift showed me the right road, the correct path to the door of this peace
I now know?
I am not sure
Still the ego’s trappings remain a friend to me
The billionaire’s song
Vanity’s allure
The knock upon the door
That says
Come in
Old friend
