From the quiet dark
I emerge, wanting for naught
Naught but your soft touch
2/28/2022
Allow me this: to breathe this once
And for a time be still
To be not like unquiet ones
Whose lives are lust and will
2/26/2022
There is a silence hiding in the roar
A peace to find amidst the world’s chaos
A knowing that uncertainty e’er reigns
And order’s but a stone that will be dust
2/25/2022 – a haiku
I would savor this
This moment of truth and life
Live in it, ever
2/24/2022
Let me disappear
In your eyes
2/23/2022
If I speak softly
It is against the roar
Of my mind
2/22/2022 – a haiku
Let me sail away
Toward unknown horizons
That I might meet them
2/21/2022
I lost a quiet thing that once I held
A peace in purpose once worn ’round my neck
Now restless do I wander seeking it
To fill the void that’s opened in me __
2/19/2022
I wandered into
A page
And found there a promise
Of life
Of beauty
Of love
And so did I dive deeper
Till I found them
2/18/2022
As Old Man Winter blows his hoary breath
Upon all that is green and bright, I see
How he must relish in the warmth’s quick death
How petty and cantankerous is he
