When it’s all too much
step away and feel your breath.
Therein rests your strength.
searching
Fallen leaf
Beauty can be found
in a leaf lost on the ground.
Feel the peace let loose.
The Tiger and the Maze
Untended pathways
leave little room for escape.
A trapped tiger hunts.
Sometimes,without warning, I can see
Sometimes a garden is just a garden, and sometimes it is not.
By nature that seed
However small finds the sun.
Wisely weigh what blooms.
When stillness resembles a fugue, take flight or cover or both.
Short verse kept mind aimed.
Or tricked into locked stasis.
A pig-tailed girl weeps.
I feel a non-metered rant coming on…
Safely hidden lump
growing deep inside my throat.
Fresh cut breaks the skin.
