for example, love

23 July 2015

 

Even the purest

must, necessarily, be

tainted by our flaws.

 

jungle

04 February 2015

 

My machete’s sharp.

I blazed trails, none existed

through my own jungle.

 

I jungled into

a deep, dark silence, and yet,

I never got lost.

 

Some explorers do,

some return changed, richer for

their experience.

 

Finding your way out

is often the beginning

of exploration.

each morning’s new

23 June 2014

 

 

morning silhouettes

a world of new beginnings –

dawn’s enlightenment.

 

 

lone wolf

02 June 2014

 

 

I’d lasso the moon,

but it’s easier to howl

alone in the dark.

 

 

I should’ve worn flip flops

29 May 2014

 

 

one knot unknotted,

but there will always be more

in life’s shoelaces.

 

 

embrace

23 May 2014

 

 

these quiet mornings,

I resist the urge within,

embrace emptiness.

 

 

on second thought

21 May 2014

 

 

pouring morning rain,

birds, undaunted, still singing,

I go back to sleep.

 

 

I know why

29 April 2014

 

 

I know why this forest calls my name …

 

 

do not follow me,

I go alone, where I must –

this forest of words.

 

I do not bargain,

nor do I apologize

once the way is clear.

 

this path I travel,

indeed the journey as well,

mine, and mine alone.

 

I’ve known all my life,

I was destined for this path,

I must walk alone.

 

I’m solitary,

it’s lonely, but I’m content

going my own way.

 

so, don’t follow me,

find your own path to follow,

words, … nothing but words.

 

 

reconsider

20 April 2014

 

 

death,

like nothing else,

moves us

to reconsider

life, at least for now.
