Free from
chains of
suffering despair
my heart
once lonely
once filled
then broken
now empty
I can
fill it
but rather
I’ll let
others drink
for I
am no
longer parched
having once
been quenched
that’s enough

AllNow
All I do
now is write
love laugh live
I breathe them
and be them
and when upon
my pillow I
rest my head
at night I
know that I
am blessed for
I have fulfilled
my Creator’s purpose
OneTwoOne
I know now
that we two
are together one
though years and
miles and life
keeps us apart
I also know
that despite that
we live one
life in two
very different places
two different ways
one single purpose
Reclamation
Humanity now
seems to
be so
petty that
even the
virtues weep
what has
become of
patience humility
truth love
kindness and
gratitude what
might have
bored deeply
and hollowed
such beauty
into corpses
it is
time then
to forget
and place
our attention
on animals
and let
them take
back what
was stolen
Woe
It is
these moments
when cold
moves in
when once
were warm
memories turn
brittle when
even hope
won’t bring
its thaw
and like
I suppose
all creatures
finding it
hunker down
beneath the
blankets of
their woe
