It comes
in cleaning
and clearing
the mind
it goes
when one
closes the
door behind
let go
of yesterday’s
dirt grime
and debris
say hello
to today
and its
sparkling sheen
Bench
Seek and ye
shall find go
forth and conquer
but what about
us who prefer
to sit on
a bench and
watch the sunset
or children play
or listen to
the song of
laughter from faraway
Blessed
My one hope
for all those
who’ve left my
side is that
they each will
find their own
brand of peace
and happiness and
if they don’t
then at least
they will continue
to find courage
to persist their
pursuit of it
Myself
If anything I’ve
been looking for
it’s come to
the end of
that and the
beginning of this
for that brought
security at the
presence of another
and this peace
at the solitude
of just myself
Face
I’m now nothing
more than breath
on a window
drawn with fingers
some days happy
some day meh
a simple little
mirror of mind
sometimes I wipe
it all away
while others I
let it disappear
on its own
edges first then
slowly to the
middle like ice
on a pond
