another three before three
one again at five

petty to keep count
but language lost numbers not
counting sheep today

forgotten choices
meandering through my mind
hope springs eternal

reading through your eyes
portals into a new sphere
different cosmos hope

in words of poet john donne
my prayers unanswered

well may not an option be
is living a choice

making herself right at home

the fire's a smoldering
takes the damp away

with her cape of fog and rain

friendship knocking at my door
brings gift of healing

a worthy prayer is it not
my request denied

morning after rain
doesn't sunshine guarantee
a new day dawning

05/13/15

'tis a bad sad day
tears and rain are pouring down
drowning in deluge

chains of time and place
death by any other name
a variation

sleepless nights bestowed
sins weigh heavy on my soul
no lack of trying

mother earth is laboring
to birth life anew

paying for it now
decisions made in sorrow
the morning after

sins of bygone times
vestiges of yesteryear
sweet sweet memories

05/07/15

self-imprisoning
shackles of my own making
the bars closing in

05/06/15

pervasive sorrow
knocking at my cabin door
goodness shining through

05/05/15 - Cinco de Mayo

come to jesus talk
a sermon from self to self
proselytizing

kharon on the river styx
a danake peace

05/03/15

the gift of a day
taken for granted never
life oblivious

having been thrown off
get back on the horse they say
dredging up courage

05/01/15 - Beltane

'round 'n 'round my fear i go
thrice 'n back again
