Arise

No measure of mercy in pleasure or pain

The sin of omission is sin just the same

Visions of the future seen through broken glass

Shattered in pieces by mistakes of the past

A glimmer, a shimmer, a glint of hope's light

Enticing the Phoenix to arise and take flight

Spirit break free from shackles that bind

Renewal of heart, soul and mind

Ramblings

Frantic, running to and fro.

Panic, things to do, places to go.

Hectic, hurry up and wait.

Chaotic, rush, rush can’t be late.


Negative energy flows in the valley below.

Human connection first to forgo.

Sickness, sadness, something amiss.

Tumbling into progression’s abyss.

Ode to Allergies

The Joys of Spring

The trees colored with blooms of cherries

The vines grown heavy with succulent berries

The daytime sky lit by sun bright

The headiness of a warm spring night

The snotting, the sneezing, the eyes that itch

The cough, the tickle that makes me twitch

The change of season so bitter and sweet

Make haste dear spring, be gone toot sweet.
