BETWEEN CLOUDS

Eyes of clouds watched with swollen curves as the earth passed below, its streets busy and sidewalks solid paths of souls colliding and then draining off, opening doors, filing in and out with random irregularity.   The day is a flash of courage on a millennial stage, as the sands of people speak of how … More BETWEEN CLOUDS

MY CIRCLES

I keep meeting myself in circles, bumping into the back of me where I anxiously push but fail to gain passage; I am subject to my slow going   A turnstile of arms walls against me. The success of passing one leaves another in the width of my path; always a barrier.   The ingredients … More MY CIRCLES

RUNNING THE RACE

We are water in a great river. Each with a clock buried deep within as we search for a place not yet seen.   We move in flocks and herds, down roads without numbers, climbing stairs to doors unfamiliar.   There is a calling within a few. A message scrawled on the heart, a word … More RUNNING THE RACE

The roads I know have beaten their … More CHOICES OF ME

SEEDS OF DIRECTION

The door was half open or half closed. A silent message of entry or release. Quiet held the air hostage. Outside sounds found another place to speak into day. Moments of decisions gnaw at choices. The whereabouts of capturing a thought or driving it out hung in the balance. Each life walks a line, visible … More SEEDS OF DIRECTION

SIDEWAYS

There is a sideways to life, when the steps of hesitancy alter a forward course.   Though the ground remains unshaken, we tremble with instability, as the enemy of doubt sets up camp.   A war begins.   The air is full of wind and rain forcing us to seek shelter from this storm and … More SIDEWAYS

MOVING ON

A building torrent of storms forced a crazy going, pushing in and hammering out a day swollen with clouds and wind.   A broken night rumbled like passing trains thundering through, heavy with rusted metal, beating a rhythm without equal.   Lightening streaked, slamming the sky, sawing the air with bold power, blinding quickly and … More MOVING ON
