To dream is more than idly thinking on
The things you most desire to have and do
To dream’s to set your sails and turn the wheel
Toward that which you cannot but achieve

3/26/2024 – pass over
I tiptoe there atop the moss
And feel it ‘twixt my toes
Until I find the wildflowers
And pass over the rose
3/23/2024 – spring
The greyish sky erupts in vibrant blue
And all at once the pallid winter dies
3/22/2024 – dreams
Under the weight of the world
Sagging
Struggling
Stumbling
I can scarcely stand
Yet I am lifted up
I am pulled forward
By the unbending strength
Of dreams
3/20/2024 – unawares
The nighttime creatures skitter ‘neath the moon
While all else sleeps entirely unawares
3/19/2024 – hell
Hell is not fire
Not blazing heat
Not the inferno
Hell is emptiness
3/16/2024 – light from naught
The turgid waters of my heart awake
To all the flowing chaos of the world
Yet in their swirling madness there is truth
An order built of void, a light from naught
3/15/2024 – spring
The stillest breeze whispers to me of spring
E’en though the morrow will a cold rain bring
3/13/2024 – over the horizon
I stretch my senses to the farthest shore
Where songs are lifted high upon the wind
And all is bathed in sunlight without end
Yet over the horizon it remains
3/12/2024 – through time
Despite my exhortations
The earth refused to slow
And o’er my protestations
It pulls me by the toe
