a flash of lighting
tears the fabric of the night
letting in the rain
–
wet brilliance
slicing through
shadows

who I am is just
in between who I was and
who I will become
–
my future
hinges on keeping
my past promises

as I walk this earth
I tread on those before me
my path paved with love
–
footsteps
your past guides
my future

a cold rain shower
washes down my upturned face
hiding bitter tears
–
cloudy
dark and moody
raining together

a mirror’s surface
where the water meets the shore
ripples in the wind
–
cat tails
growing in and
out of the water

the noise in my head
a constant cacophony
that gives me no peace
–
whirlwind-
tranquility overcome
by turbulent thoughts

the dragonfly’s drone
suddenly silenced when it
alights on my palm
–
stillness-
the dragonfly
landed

slow ocean waves
push the gathering sea foam
gently into shore
–
murmuring-
the ocean whispers
to the shore

there is no debate
we should be doing what’s right
not just what’s easy
–
morality is
happily doing
the hard work

my heart held hostage
as a testament to your
faith in my return
—
waiting-
my heart
as collateral
