The life I chose
will not always feel
like light.
Sometimes it feels
like sweeping the floor
of the room
I prayed to enter.

The life I chose
will not always feel
like light.
Sometimes it feels
like sweeping the floor
of the room
I prayed to enter.
One shining moment
Radiant and glorious
The world melts away
I awoke from a nap
was feeling all right
I picked up my phone
and that feeling had left
Another shooting
this time at a school
In a town that I knew
thirty years ago
I don’t know how
much more I can take
and still feel when I awake
testing every step
before I take it
my shadow

Now that I am old,
I've more friends known than I know
as the #dead's roll grows.

putting their agents to work
All while the world burns

#October - a bout:
clash of the titans
Summer v Winter
we suffer about
#vsp #poem #micropoetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #prompt #blueskypoets
Veil between the worlds
Walking a little to close
Cold hands caressing
Thoughts of yesterday
Undifferentiated
Memory collage
When Marley appeared,
Scrooge said: "You are #dead to me."
(Christmas spirit passed.)

my favorite songs
