I started out small
As small as a germ
In a glass
Half full
But half empty
I made my way from cup to air
From death to life
Only to find that the world
Will hold you back
If it knows where you come from
So continue to grow
In a world new
I started out small
As small as a germ
In a glass
Half full
But half empty
I made my way from cup to air
From death to life
Only to find that the world
Will hold you back
If it knows where you come from
So continue to grow
In a world new
Amongst the northern pines
Lays a bay
So lazy in summer
And frozen cold in winter
From the fresh waters of Lake Michigan
To the top of the spruce trees
The sky and the birds
Are all you need
To be along the fresh coast of life
Living right
Every moment at a time
The weight of an empty chair
Weighs on my mind
What could be filled in that space
Misused and misled
The full weight is beyond the number
So know that the empty
Could one day be full
My own choices
Boiled out
Through the years
Distilled and ancient
But when time speaks
In a visceral tone
Known
To those who hear it
I have to take a moment to
To embrace the path
Of what was
And then breathe deep
To see what could
Be
Through the evening and
Into the night
The free approach
Of the darkness
Unchained
As it goes
The smallest off dew
From the later afternoon
The moonlight has no chains tonight
In the crystal clear sky
Comes with the season
Set up by the turn
Of the earth
Each small bloom
Prepares a life
Force
To construct a
Vibrant
Spring
On the edge of the blanket spring
And
Can’t come soon enough
In the silence of thought
The only new strain
Is the discovery
Of a hope
Buried under the lights of
A past gone by
But dispatched in haste
Makes new waves
Hopes
And opportunity
For the bright
Future ahead
Beyond the notes
Stamps and collections
The overdue letters
Sit waiting for a life
To have purpose of direction
The postman of forgotten letters
Grabs each and every letter
Poem and
Description
To take the words
Home to the rightful
Place of the address
To be sent
Waiting all night
In the distant hope of alliance
With oneself
The moon creeps over the dunes
Soon
The sun will return
In glorious
March
To the day of another
No other
Than to see the morning
Rising in the eastern skies
From the sun
And off the moon
Reflections pure
As the day in bloom
Soon
The reflections of light
Will be the reflections of love
Hope
All that is done
In the unknown
So know that even though
We can’t see the light
We know that it’s there
Without our detection
For we see it in the
Reflection
