I have a friend
that carries his dog
everywhere and when they
get where they’re going
he sets him down
Curious I inquired quietly
can’t walk can he
Oh no he can
I just don’t want
him to run away
How many of us
carry around others for
simply the same reason

Hope
Hope is the only
thing that I can’t
live without any hope
about any thing carries
me higher and farther
than even their promises
for promises to most
are meant to be
whereas hope is here
now and not later
when they are already
gone
Pearl
The sky resembles
the lining of
an oyster shell
streaks of pink
and blue and
white and gray
and even orange
and I wonder
if our world
is a pearl
cradled in the
cosmic azure ether
Sunrise
It’s interesting to me
that the buildings man
have made reflect sunrise
making them eerily glow
like ghosts absent souls
but the mountains remain
dark and patiently quiet
thankfully awaiting their turn
for Heaven to nod
like souls in purgatory
TheRoad
Once on a road
a hundred miles straight
in one direction another
hundred miles straight in
the other I stood
thinking
What if I stayed
right here right here
where I am would
the people over there
notice would the people
that way notice would
any of them miss
me
what if I stayed
Every single day of
my life I have
asked the same question
and every single day
of my life I
hear the same answer
no
no one would care
so why should I
and so I continue
down the same road
with the hundreds of
miles in front and
the hundreds of miles
behind knowing that no
one in either direction
would care if I
if I ever dared
to ever keep going
