Eclipsed

Sometimes the sun 
Does not shine
Sometimes the sun
Dims from view
Just at the moment
When you need it
Most
It is
Gone
Eclipsed 
Hidden in the recess
Of time
Without warning
The brightly 
Burning orb
Explodes into
An impenetrable 
Abyss
Leaving only
Shadow in its
Wake
Like a death toll
Calling for an end
It has evaporated
Into oblivion
Into nothing

Crescendo


Our existence
Is silence
Between the folds
Of the unfolded
We reside
Watching flowers
Bloom
Under blue skies
Between the rustle
Of leaves
You can hear
The noiselessness
Of our nature
A cacophony
That envelops
Impenetrable
Impervious
To the thought
To the will
Of the outside
So we are
Cast aside
To live
In our existence
In silence

Steady

Out in the cold
Morning Light
When dew is
Fresh upon the 
Grass
He stands with
Resolve

Breathing the 
Crisp
Morning
Sun
Lilac scented
Inspired
He breaks
Away

From the known
Stepping with
Deliberate
steady feet
He releases
Himself to 
The
Unknown

Sunshine

Standing on a moment of
Indecision
A thin chalk drawn
Line
Of reality
Real and not real
Over which the heart ceases to beat
A pulse of depth
A pulse of life
Like seeing
The birds outside the
Prison walls
Seeing the open
Gate and fighting the urge
To Run
Out into the light
Out in to free
Out in to the peace
The subtle quiet

Instead I turn from the door
And walk slowly down the hall

Canopy

In the peace
Of the forest
A tree stands
Alone Screaming
Searching Branches
Outstretched
For sun

Artichoke Eaters

Surrounded by love
Tender and Kind
Warm and sweet
Makes for a lonely

View
Of the world
Shadowed in bright crispness
Laughing faces

Split open in
Carnivorous grins
Eating hearts
Of artichokes

Simplest

I wanna be free
Free to float on a distant
Dream
A dream locked in reality
With beautiful bliss
And sunshine
Old wood and
Threadbare clothes

I dream such a dream
When light streams
Through simple windows
Falling in beams of hope
Blossoming simple love
In faded jeans
Love waits

And lives

Love and Fear

I am thinking of a time
When
I will choose to live
Rather than be defined
By limitations
The shackles that bind me
Do not define me
But the breath
I breathe
When I am free
To breathe
Under the Sun
Without constraints
Without bonds
Without suffocation

If I choose to leave
If I choose to stay
I will not stay
Because of any fear
I choose to
Live
And
Be alive

If I am not alive here
I will be alive elsewhere
I want to
Rejoice in the love
Rejoice in the sun
Rejoice in being alive
I want to
Be alive
Fly with the birds
Live with the dolphins
Become a blade of grass
Bend with the wind
Be a snowflake
In midsummer
Be a grain of sand
Blown across the dunes
Sway in the breeze
Be a drop of rain
I want to live
I want to love

Do not fear
The choices I make
Be not defined
By fear


Live and love
