Abyss


You held my hand,

and we walked in trepidation onto the precipice,

when the wind of uncertainty caught us,

as we lost our footing into the abyss.

Falling into jagged walls of truth

and uncertainty…

we landed finally into silence.

Searching, we were separated from the other,

waking in time,

looking up, I see you have managed to climb

onto the edge, watching and waiting.

Sadly, the stones under your footing

loosened by your climb

break into a fall.

The modern-day lamb in stripes and stars

 

Lay in sacrifice of what should be.

 

He re-ignites the paschal-candle of brotherhood

 

and kindness in a country so dark.

 

darken from the light of goodness.

 

He poured from the receptacle of time,

 

and honor and devotion.

 

He lays the gauntlet of ‘moving-on’

 

In hopes others will follow.

Under the magic

Across the blacken sky is

Wonder of life and love

a cover white might

Otherwise make sight of what

Others see alike

Haiku


full moon cloaks white clouds

Wind sways in celebration.

Oak tree leaves promise

Haiku (drought)


Early morning rain

mixes with the ground sprinkler

vying for relief.

Moments brought to attention

I climb hills to run

Trees beside the hot road sway

beckons endurance
