Disquiet haunts my waking mind
Until my eyes are closed once more
And shadows ebb a while at last

11/25/2023 – be
My heart aches for something I cannot see
Wrapped up in one command, unyielding:
Be
11/24/2023 – douse
I lie amidst the cooling trees
And ‘neath their naked boughs
That I might feel their earthly ease
My fiery spirit douse
11/21/2023 – rest my weary heart
Looks like I owe you two today.
Without another moment’s thought
I run into your arms
For in their warmth is where I ought
To be, and where I’ll rest my weary heart
11/18/2023 – not be there
I lived a thousand lives before
You walked into this last of them
For how could I return once more
If you would not be there?
11/14/2023 – full and glad
I wish for little more than that
Your heart be full and glad
11/10/2023 – all that’s bright and green
I hunger for another world
Where all that’s bright and green
Is cherished only for its sake
And not the human bounty it could mean
11/7/2023 – what is become of the world
Humdrum and half-baked, life-bereft
A stopped song, canvas set to flame
11/4/2023 – at odds
My mind and body seem to be at odds
They make me question if they’re truly one
11/1/2023 – none/overmuch
I write and write and write and write
And wonder at the endless white
Of canvasses I’ve yet to touch
When it still feels I’ve written overmuch
