Refractions

Refractions Are You only found in simplicity Or is it only in complexity? Could it possibly be a “both” and an “and” That brings us to the touch of a Father’s hand Could it be my eyes are so close to me That I cannot see the good that sets me free? I sense the…

The Voice

The Voice I dream of days, I dream of ways Where I do not have to enter into this incessant wandering This amassing of graves between worlds of reality and fact And the realms of reality and truth These things I have wrestled with since my youth Seeing the dragons get all the stronger I…

Alight

Alight I’m ready to float right out of this universe Alight onto another Far more distant than this one Yet closer than the breath of my lungs I breathe the same air as the warlords, the bright ones That spread love and peace and happiness and battle The ones that make their swords all rattle…

Lost Creek

Lost Creek A brooklet is a wandering poetry Constant in its direction Yet fluid in its ways An ever changing constant, aware Of the fickle winds and weathers In these moments all these come together Creating the magnificently peaceful masterpiece   This constant power is being released Changing every rock and form The sunlight becomes…
