Wisps of a mist of what I used to be. Barest of breaths of what I might have been. Lost to the ever quieter waters of yesteryear. Surrounded by now of what I have to own. Facing my broken vessels of my present view. My dreams, your dreams, of what could have been, Lost to … Continue reading What Could Have Been (with Audio File)
The Dawn in Me (with Audio File)
I sit alone after dawn and hear the bursting surrounding me. My eyes are closed, my soul has no barrier. There, a dove, cooing for her partnered one, Nearer, the wasp rasps and tests for the new home, Further, ole Sol, forcing renewed life on earth to grow, first green then in colors, Tulips, pears, … Continue reading The Dawn in Me (with Audio File)

The Jealous One (with Audio File)

Death After Birth (with Audio File)
And, I see the truth as it touches my heart, but confused by the devils' sights and sounds of destruction. I know the wrong. I feel the right. A gray does not exist, though lies are aplenty.

I see the grass below in lazy gaze, with my hands tucked neath my … Continue reading My Branch, My Piece of Heaven (with Audio File)
The First Breath, followed by the Last Breath
I did stand in awe of all that was lost to me, those last moments. A mother that did birth and love me, though her way was horrible in repair.

El Burro Rojo and The Star People
You see this Burro Rojo? Built for strength I am, to bear the weight of others. My betters, my lot. This back built for gente estrella, light and thankless though they are. My now cracked hooves were built to protect lesser and weaker than me. This I have done many times, though forgotten is my … Continue reading El Burro Rojo and The Star People
