All that
is is
a part
of what
was and
that what
was is
now the
is that
what once
was nothing
just is
before it
was what
what was
Month: April 2024
Emergence
It’s here
now here
I knew
it’s arrival
was imminent
but things
such as
these prowl
sneak pounce
one journey
starts another
first suffering
then humility
second healing
then isolation
now emergence
and empathy
I have
walked miles
of wondering
wandering to
finally find
myself quietly
forgiven here
Journey
The quiet
light in
the deepest
forest attracts
the attention
of the
weary traveler
no fanfare
just a
glow ahead
and glimpse
of rest
a bed
a blanket
and crumb
Night
In dark
I listen
to heartbeat
and sleep
with drowsy
and dreaming
this that
you turn
so faraway
in night
I fear
you will
never return
to me
Affect
There are some
a few maybe
those who can
and they will
lean in closer
and quietly whisper
like late summer
winds catch beginning
to turn leaves
it is time
and these whispers
just like whiskers
make me giggle
they tickle me
in my soul
and make write
these little words
few they are
