Early Memories

A flash of light, a sheet of white

And hands, and arms…open

And a smile warms.

And love, and silent strength

And a soft cheek…whispers

And song upon her breath.

And love, and frantic calm

And the strong beats…slow

And the silence of peace.

A sheet of white, a flash of light

I come with these...early memories

And a smile warms.

TRAPPED

a broad feathered wing
the rain shattering through the air
the call of the earth.
and our blood flows through.

now. become. before the autumn turns to green.
against certainty, upon our first breath.
it is unnatural...this.
and then...

a greater unknowingness, a cold steel.
no room for detours.
the hands are moving
there is a beat
there is a thought
a rock
a hard place
and then...

Snowed In (poem)

They’re stuck in there

A mind can bear

But bare no more

For what’s in store.

Still no light

A blinding white

No grace or sin

I’m just snowed in.
