LetLife

We attract what 
we need manifest
what we want
there’s much more
mystery to life
than we know
let happen ones
happiness pursue
less accept more
let life be

Snacks

And now 
the noise
is gone
as though
the mice
which sought
their refuge
here left
no more
scratching no
more gnawing
no more
eating through
whatever mice
eat through
just silence
delicious silence
the snacks
that peace
brings me

			

ForeverNothing

And then this 
one makes me
turn and look
having once been
something standing there
now no regret
and no remorse
for what had
been is gone
but I still
look out of
habit and not
out of longing
at forever nothing

Trumpet

I am
a trumpet
calling warning
perched high
seeing first
being first
forced to
alert to
sound alarm
and then
to watch
either triumph
or tragedy
neither of
which matters
to me
for I
am but
a sound

PostmarkHeaven

It is with sadness 
that I write this
dear Lord the beauty
which You created is
gone
where I don’t know
the people You made
still remain but the
glimmer which You placed
inside has gone out
and what remains now
are just bodies lost
gone
so I’m asking You
what do I do
with this now do
I simply wait and
watch until You too
tire of all this
is there a match
and switch to reignite
or as You warned
I told you that
this would happen there
