Reflex

Remember 

knowing the bite of Springtime dew

melted into sweat by noon. 

Lean

Lift

quenching first a needy heart

then walking daily weighted dues

Collapse

Captivate

a wanting window found inside

lost then captured by the moon.

Collapse

Survival frames from outside in-

gird by outer stress,

fears inside cower safe

a nurtured life facade.

Survival brain protects and stands

against, and never for.

Safe until the moon sets long-

a quiet tremor felt,

the winds subside,

a sigh is heard,

before you fall apart..

surveillance

thumbprints press hard

on the outer part to shape shift being

into a failed construct

facade

hiding a soul looking for the light behind

to dispel shadows and such

searching for life beyond the creep of forced ideals

into everlasting peace

65

More years behind than ahead

Tomorrow with no lasting definitions or weight

Just a wall of trees guiding the way home

kissed by too many suns.

A touch of grace

to have and to hold

this day beginning to end….
