Caution

Compass on a Journey

In the east the rising sun
The morn, rebirth and light
In the west the setting sun
A calming start to night
Then the south and the north
Are at odds with that line
And the four going forth
Are cardinally supine
We have ups and we have downs
Trouble, courage, fun
Smileys, winks, and frowns
And it starts with the sun


God bless,

Unsated

What can sate the void?
A black hole where pleasures ebb
All is insufficiently toyed
With like a spider and its web

And then lost, in a fog
The siren's call of apathy
The rhythm of life in a clog
Eyes unable to rest on thee

Why is this even a choice?
And then why chosen at all?
Like screaming in a quiet voice
And dancing with one's own pall


God bless,

I Sing a Song of Water

I sing a song of water
I sing my dying breath
I sing a song of purple wine
I sing a planet's breadth
I sing of travelers and of homes
Of friends with which to dine
I sing a song of water
I sing a song of wine
I sing it to my bones


God bless,

A Year From Now

God bless,

A Sip

A sip of wine
To quench the thirst
Of weariness to the world
A simple sign
A simple feast
A simple sail unfurled

A single act of kindness
A single laugh
A smile
Is enough to find this
Life worth
Another mile


God bless,
