The road taken,

a path unwalked,

direction unto fate

 

A choice is made,

the debt unpaid

—redemption coming late

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Too far from the mojo

—too close to the fire

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Be careful when

the Siren calls

 

because…

 

Where you fall in love

is where you’ll stay

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Dawn spoke to the darkness

in its language of light

 

Delivering tomorrow

—from the deafening night

 

(Bryn Mawr College: July, 2021)

Lost in the city,

floundering alone

caught on the hook

of an abandoned dream

fighting in vain

against modernity’s pull

living the lie

—of eternity’s pain

 

(The New Room: July, 2021)

Religion a misnomer

whose conscript is God

 

Devotion misguided

—preeminent fraud

 

(Strafford Pennsylvania: July, 2021)

Life is short,

Art is long

 

Words but letters

—in search of song

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Prophetically contextual

—internally Divine

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Tears…

watermarks of a dry tomorrow

Irrigant

—of hope’s despair

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)

Forty years of turmoil…

the top of the heap

The head of the table,

but nothing has changed

Consensus of endorsement,

accolades of exhaustion

Whose tracks have long faded

—regret in the wind
