A New Life Well Lead

Start anew and follow his lead
Nourish the soul with his word and bread
Bask in the sun to ensure it stays in your head

Traverse on his earth and move with ease
Take in the hills and the seas
Ingest pure water and keep ahead
Let the body be gently fed

Believe in yourself as he sure does
Breathe in the fresh air it’s yours to keep
Trust in God to keep you fed
Never wrong will be the path he’s led

Rest your head on days well lived
Be your own shepherd and practice restraint 
Don't take blessing for granted, 
Be sure to guard the life you're fed

Stained Letters

They know your face
Your body

You turned on the camera 
You let them in
Unknown editors

When they asked for more 
You gave it freely 
You didn't know
You were a blank paper

They pry for more 
To see more
To get more
To know more
To write more
You were drawn to the attention like paper and ink

You let them pour into you
Their wants, desires
Their stains
Anything and everything

You let them have it 
You let them in 
Stained paper

You press block 
It's the end 

You can erase the ink
You fight with the scuffs that remain

You shut them out 
It's the end 
The ink streaks still visible 

But you feel their eyes
Their pens
What they saw 
What they added in

You let them in
You let them mark

Disfigured writing 
Pen strokes of depravity

Are they still in 
Question marks, accusations

This what you wanted 
You let them have it 
You stamped the letter

Shut the laptop
You close the browser 
Return to sender

Yet they're still there and you feel them now 
It's not real 
The paper wasn't there 

It's everywhere
You know it is
You're crumpled and folded

No one cares 
No one can know
Push it to the back
You were theirs 

What they wanted 
How they wanted you to be 
What you became
A letter of what 

Who's your author 
Hidden writers of the past
The cover up with normality 

The masks made of edits
Erasures not truly hidden
Is it you 
Or only forgery

A Bellowing Storm

A still sleepy house 
Creaking pipes settling on cold night
Floor boards whisper quiet comforts
Yellow curtains caress worn floors
Ordered pairs of shoes by the oak door
Framed smiles of the past line the wall

Cold petrichor in traveling wind 
Ravens awaken ruffling in trees
A quick departure
Leaves breaking from arms of loving branches
Whisked away from home

A crack in silence 
Sudden strikes in a hazy sky
Clouds cry heavy drops
Winds cary thousands 
East to west
An end of peaceful rest 

A still house
A bellowing storm
Creaking oak

The smell of cold wet dread infiltrates the hall 
Footsteps panicked down the stairs
Old weathered stairs of support hold unsure
Electricity lingers in thin air 

Cold concrete and still air tense with suspense 
Hiding from the storm fighting its way in 
An intrusion of sacred security 
Holiday decorations cower in corners
Summer awaits in boxes for warm sun rays

Labored sounds of effort groan from the frame
Reliant beams anchored bend and snap
Fraying from inside splintering out 
Sharp points stab and protrude 

Never ending clamours downpour
The howling of terrorizing winds
Sturdy foundations cracking 
Safety fading 

A bellowing storm 
A forsaken fading house
Memories displaced and nowhere to go

Ferris Wheel

You may not remember this exact moment
Nor remember the reason we’re here

The music that was playing
The smiles and laughs of friends near and dear 

Or even gently tucking my hair behind my ear

But tonight under the fall night sky
I wont let this moment fall away 

Because were here on this ferris wheel
And you are mine, and I am yours

Bluejay

Between whispers and less subtle things
Bellow the sky but above the dirt
Lies two streets 
Split as rock hard and certain

libertas et quotidiana

Through the thicket and the trees
Lies a space clarity 
Where soft grass kisses the ankles 
And seeds stay anchored firm

Lay a tree strong as steel
That smells of wild and sweet solace
With branches that feel like arms
Reaching out to welcome one home

Away from the mockery 
Away from heartache all have seen

The one in blue with feathers curled
Wings bent in a cruel display 
Beak free of song 
Feet grasp at the scraps of bark

Eyelashes stare far from the ground
Shielded by protective leaves
Teardrops fall from its fortress 

The silenced songbird sits
On the edge of freedom

Fleeing brings the untold
Staying isn't an option
Contemplation is the awaiting state

She's exhausted 
Beyond her thicket isn't hers
She's hunted and haunted by her past
And her sure future 

The sun no longer shines
The moon and stars gaze
The lone bluebird sits
Fireflies guide her choice

Flickering in, fading away

Her breath is cold
A shivering frail thing
She's unwavering in spirit now

Eyes glassy and clouded as the once clear sky
Mind clear with certainty 

Lighting cracks 
Rain is spilled
Rope catches

A bird is free
Only song in the wind

Eye to Eye

Together we sit
Eye to eye

I feel you looking into mine
I hope you feel how I look in yours

The sun, the moon
Our past, our future

Everything, every second 
Is just as warm
Just kind

But between us in this space
Our space
Where we sit eye to eye
I hope you feel and see the same
