One week since I drove a car One week since I could breathe easy Yesterday marked First steps, out of bed, eyes facing light Nights are spent Sitting up Lungs laboring Against infection that burns Body wracked Muscles spasm and ache endlessly But demands await And life must resume Into the hurry up and go … Continue reading One Week #wwwblogs

Fragments #wwwblogs
We are - all of us - fractured pieces bits of gold and glimmers of momentary hope cobbled together into this stardust skin we are electrified tearing the skies asunder creating the new stronger for the miles we spent to find our missing pieces the fragments of soul that had been cast to the compass … Continue reading Fragments #wwwblogs
Crossing #wwwblogs
My headlights lead me Through darkness each day Trying to catch the dawn And that light glimmers Distantly Everything fades to the unreal For a small magic Across the sea Always across the sea My soul would lift out Fly up To reach shores Visible or impossibly distant But that something Unspoken Maybe even unspeakable … Continue reading Crossing #wwwblogs

Time Forgot #wwwblogs
The dawn will find me Drawn down the dividing line Fields lying to either side Abundant or fallow or aflame This journey comes Like a pilgrimage A prayer to create better To find doors That are ready to be opened And it is all false: The dreams and prayers The hopes for more when time … Continue reading Time Forgot #wwwblogs
