Feeling very small
Sitting on this cold stone wall
The winds of Autumn

Transitions
Life’s transitions
Freedom from this mortal world
Tears role down my face

Truth is Black and White
I can’t breath
The presence of mind
To set the world on fire
Nothing left to lose
White
House afire
Hot with hate
Washed in vainglorious jactitation
Privilege

Heaven
No more dances
Around the sun
She is now
Back to stardust

Bridge
Another dear friend
Crosses the misty bridge
Fog condenses into tears

No girls allowed
Trait taught at an tender age
Desolate playground

Untended
Butterflies dance
With wild abandon
Untended garden
Atmosphere
In smoldering ash
Nothing left but a flicker
Of a life that was
Before the earth’s atmosphere
Became the human experiment

Tumult
When
Is enough
Enough manmade tumult
When laughter prevails over
Screams

Harvey
My heart goes out to my Gulf Coast neighbors. I want to say that the storm will pass and there are rainbows ahead but right now that seems trite and doesn’t bring solace. The impact of these devastating disasters lasts for years. In the current climate of divisiveness and anger, it gives me hope to see folks coming together and showing the best of humanity under such horrible circumstances.
For anyone who wants to help, here is a link to the Hurricane Harvey Facebook page with options for donation.
