Branching off, into a grove of swaying pines For the moment out of reach A storm passes through the night From a red scarred horizon ~ On higher ground I watch the black rivers swell And snake through the mist Carving stillness apart ~ It returns in the new world after As a creature Cleaving…

The burden of a few stray words Spat out from an alleyway Slows the journey to a crawl Through glass-ridden streets ~ The cold gaze of a stranger Distorts the inner melody As the treasured odes of family Fall free from your grasp ~ Deceitful verses follow you As you burrow into the night Beyond…

Stillness at the break of day From the cool and coarse sand A line is cast And time unwinds ~ Strangers weave into the soul In colorful flocks Their melodies preach of distant shores ~ On the verge of darkness Adrift in the blue Stray fragments of the world Piece together at last ~ Is…

Daydreams turn to dust And float away From the arms of a recluse Sleeping, through the ire of his brother’s storm ~ He lunges for the ether From the ledge of his mind Pursuing past wonders As the waterline rises ~ To a soft glow he soars For irretrievable ghosts As war rages outside of…
