Abeyance

 

Raging

against the machine

Dying

in the light

Counting

the hours till darkness

Waiting

— for delight

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

 

Storm Clouds

 

I wanted to speak my mind

until I changed it

I wanted to write a book

without the critic  

I wanted to fall in love

until I lost her

I wanted wealth and fame

— without the thunder

Cosmic Shelf

 

A Shooting Star

In A Mason Jar

Preserved And Waiting

So Near — So Far

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

 

The Weight

 

Some carry the burden

early

Some carry the burden

late

Some carry the burden

deep inside

Some carry the burden

— of fate

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

 

 

Circuit Bard

 

Neurons 

are mindful

And fire

as healers

Defying

the symptoms

Igniting

— the cure
