Lights

The glow of the lights
Shines out across the water
Calling me back home.

In the chill winter twilight
All is dark except for you.

Skyline memory
Looking back, or looking in.
Yet, I’m lost once more
In the dusk of my mind,
In the wilderness, alone.

The breeze wakes the day.
Light shivers leaves on the trees.
While Dark’s servants bask
In lingering pools of night,
Before her veil’s cast aside.

A seductive dance
Betwixt the heavens and earth;
The moon and the sun.

Hill to Climb

Higher and higher,
The road is getting steeper.
As we make our way

Out of the lowlands in search
Of somewhere. That feels like home.

Modern life is like
A church, the religion
Electronica.

The prayer book, needs due reverence.
Wi-fi now the word of God.

Wildfire

Sets the sun ablaze,
Igniting the fire within.
Passion threatens
To overflow. As the muse
Takes hold and won’t let me go.

Possibility ~ a tanka

Possibility;

New challenges calling me

To the horizon.

Burning passion, starts to spark.

Like the phoenix I will fly.

Two Pieces

Promises and tears,
You cannot have one
Without the other.
Because what is a heart for
Other than to break into two.

I’ll never get to heaven
While I’m happy reclining
In this subtle web,

This gossamer moment,
Forever with you.

I travelled the world
But I missed the sights and signs
Outside the window.

Closed my eyes, looked away
And never went back again.
