The merry-go-round of each day slipped away,

   and memories were all that was left

 

Until the turning stopped and my spirit released,

 set free, but to never forget

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

Staring into my own eyes,

 I saw the Lord at last

 

All time as one, the parts now whole

 no future and no past

 

Staring into my own eyes,

 the light pulled me inside

 

And letting go, I felt the rush

 —no more to question why

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

Intuition is to reason

 as a black hole is to space

 

A cistern of discovery

 —void of distance, time, and place

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

Reason goes just so far it seems

 —faith crossing every line

 

Hope the ticket to a better place

 —enlightenment sublime

When you give the horse his rein

 —it’s more about the chase than the hunt

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

 The greater the question

 the more futile the answer

 

Truth open ended

 —opinion be damned

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

What man can’t understand

 he often chooses to believe

 

Where lying just beyond his grasp

 all faith and dogma bleed

 

What man can’t understand

 he follows blindly ill conceived

 

A void to fill as darkness hides

 —a fantasy supreme

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

The cruelest thing about life

 —is that it can be taken away

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

Liking what things are supposed to be

 instead of what they are

 

I spend my life in wondered lust

 not near, yet so afar

 

Wishing the truth not what it was

 but what it was meant to be

 

I spend my nights in wish filled dreams

 —my faith on bended knee

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2018)

 

 

 

My life has been folded over

 at least a hundred times

 

With twilight comes exposure

 and a reckoning sublime

 

Each crease a thing I’d never done

  each fold a place I’d hide

 

Now one by one the truth unwraps

 —my secrets open wide
