And bubbles bubble
breaking the surface
sighs I think
of times gone
dark things settled
and breaking down
becoming rich earth
in which plants
and lily pads
will soon bloom
Fireflies
It’s now when
the morning shadow
hovers and covers
and the sun
peeks through windows
some little spy
in the sky
and everything else
all around me
glows like bulbs
belonging to fireflies
Freedom
Now is not
the time to
forget but remember
that one man
does not make
himself a nation
but a nation
makes every man
whatever he wants
himself to be
and this pledge
freedom for all
will never silence
not by tyranny
or by bigotry
or by greed
because by liberty
our voices ring
Orbit
Dreams are
almost always
very selfish
me my
and mine
wishes too
also revolve
around you
but we
are not
the sun
but rather
just cold
hard rock
caught in
someone’s orbit
Dimples
In the simple
I find dimples
those little dents
where angels meant
to make smiles
shine through miles
oh those pockets
perfect for lockets
to remind me
of what I
long to see
