In the bivouac Below the splintered trees The faint hum of conversation Keeps the world at home alive – The sharp eyes of their legion Trace the burning horizon, Swallowed whole by the soil Never fully at ease Beyond the day’s dark labor – No one sheds their light In that…

On the eve of pain and jubilation The pendulum swings, Taunting our march To its spellbinding pulse – The pendulum swings Who’s left and who’s right In the bold hues of morning Frozen over and unscathed ? – Who’s left and who’s right In this tiresome dance? Starved bodies collide To this time-weathered song –…

Yearning For the long haul through the dark Trading the verses of a love song As night slips away Through hands clasped and complete – Soaring above The lush forests of our lives Of our time Never tiring of the harmonies below – Spiraling through our lost years Blurred together and blinded We…
