“Hang close, my dear” Her motherly words chimed Through the great span of evergreens Obscuring, the surest paths home They once remained In devout pursuit Skewering the branches To lasso his ever-roving soul “Never part ways, my son” Her words sorrowfully rang As they cleared uncharted earth Scouring for a mind set adrift There was…

With each step I am devoured By the swerving treachery Of concrete bedlam She fumes the same As I fondly recall With the putrid scorn of survival Her shrill songs Prey upon youthful hearts Stout, overflowing With unwavering want How I’ve long craved the cold The pure exhilaration Of my aimless travels Where I may…

Rebirth Is a lingering, proud, and defiant hope A towering desire My mind cannot evade It is the foremost bell That triumphs Over quarreling cries of distress Tolling Despite all havoc Drawing, my fearful thoughts home Rejuvenation calls As a beacon Composed for my tattered form

Few And faltering friends Trade fire and affection In a tongue I’ve long lost They’ve towered beyond my reach Watchful of the flames Of kin who writhe below How we once dreamed in unison To cleave the heavens As our lives grew lush and full They’ll jet away In time’s erosion And what truly flounders…
