Tell me why you cry
Let me help you touch the sky
Jump from your aerie, fly

Near her time stood still
The wind fell short at her feet
As did my faint words

Simply
Come back and sit with me
Under this pretty tree
We can talk and feel free
Or just sit and just be

What is Faith?
Releasing fear is the key for what we seek
Especially true for the shy and the meek
For everything we could possibly need
Evidence is shown in part by what we heed

Love’s Spark
As she sheds the layers of her heart
Laying aside fear finding love’s start
Slicing away to find the spark
Lighting the path out of the dark

Volatility
Pushed to the brink of dire hostility
Rage only one syllable’s ability
Fearful of this man’s capability
And the future of your futility

Say What?
To learn of new words guess new thoughts to wrought
Strange as it does seem some think they are haught
What good is it said what’s upon my mind?
It’s been said before as it were opined

Solitudinal Saint
Solitudinal centering reaching the core
Internalizing peace first suffering some more
Pushing past the ego dropping value of things
Seeking total wellness and the good that it brings
Start at the beginning given all that we need
Forsaking worldly goods while planting loving seeds
One man’s liberation another man’s restraint
Risking ridiculing Solitudinal saint

Graven Image
What, just what is in your heart?
No one’s there to answer smart
The hollow image I schemed
Filling it up with my dreams
The idol of could be, seems
Finally choking to scream
What, just what is in your mouth?
Is there one in there yet here?
Speak to me lay aside fear
Echoes of my voice ring clear
What, just what am I saying then?
Hollow, hollow is how…low

Indigo Swan
Capturing the indigo swan
Circling the winds emerging dawn
Setting down first queen of the lake
Gracefully wings capturing wake
