Till the Earth

She tills the earth
The ground 
So hard the need 
So soft the seed 
So great 
The reason

She
The earth
Mutually respectful
Easily angered
Quick to forgive

She gave life
She wants the same of the soil

She gave fruit 
She asks the same of the trees

Her tears flow to the ground
She begs the same of the skies 

Without life she has nothing

She tills
She plants 
She prays

Tame

Perfect ILLUSION 
Of life
Emerges with doubt
Tame the INEVITIBALE rage
Return once again 
Your soul

Prime the feast
Alabaster to rouge 
Liken the INFUSION 
Akin to the essence that 
CREATIVITY will always 
EVENTUALLY satiate

Butterfly Dreams

I dreamt I was a butterfly
Or was I
A butterfly dreaming

Floating, fluttering
In delightful staccato 
Up, up, down
Up, up, down

Bouncing, flittering

Dreams of spreading wings
Enrapture flowing
Free, fascinating

My soul
Enchanted

My heart 
Entranced

Quiet Chaos

Chaos 
Can’t quiet
The restless soul

Tears 
Won’t wash 
Away the pain

Anger
Won’t drown
Out the sorrow 

Fear
Won’t release 
The scared heart

Doubt
Can’t subdue
The wounded mind

Loneliness 
Makes 
The heart ache
