From silence grows music
From death grows life
From nothing grows all

2/15/21 – snowflakes
Falling from on high
Spinning in eddies of wind
Stunning
Perfect
Constructed with utmost care
Gone in a moment
Light to dark
Light to dark
It happens so quickly sometimes
Each day flowing to the next
Never slowing
Never halting
No time for a breath
Sonnet 12 – My soul’s youth
I’ve often had a tickle in my mind
A mem’ry that I cannot ever place
And day to day I never can quite find
The way to get to it through time and space
It is a memory both mine and not
One lived by someone else, who is yet me
Someone behind the veil of time, whose lot
Is ever close and yet so hard to see
I know it in the instincts of my heart
I know it in recesses of my soul
I know it full though know not ev’ry part
Not details, but one true and solemn whole
It is behind that veil that I sense truth
Some wisdom learnéd back in my soul’s youth
To be profound
My thoughts are dancing, running, spinning round
Around the spaces in my head they bound
As oft they circle wildly, I have found
When I do try too hard to be profound
2/10/2021 – green
Though diamonds coat the ground
I often dream of green
2/9/21 – Drums
The trees, the strings
The wind, the horns
The birds, the flutes
My heart, the drums
Heroes on a page
Smells of ink and paper
Filling up my senses
Stories full of heroes
Fantasies and legends
Sounds of distant battles
Rage upon my eardrums
Heroes’ hellish horrors
Play across the pages
Yet there is a freedom
Hiding in these epics
Simpleness can be found
If you know to look.
To climb mountains
I want to look down
Upon rivers and forests
To climb grand mountains
2/5/2021 – winter snow
Like blankets on the frozen ground
The whitest snow resides
It dampens all the sound around
And calms the soul besides
