28 September 2006

suddenly I'm stricken

to familiar depths I knew

struggling to find a link

eats days up without you

lists of to-do’s lengthen

in the times of blue

waiting for a bit of pink

to emerge in lieu

listless actions strengthen

the resolve to renew

a clear minute to think

of how to make it through

then vanished weeks awaken

my heart back to true

I can walk the teetered brink

for months, sometimes a few

29 September 2006

residual demons hide

behind a morning yawn

my eyes open wide

infecting the dawn

first-thing chores are tainted

a muddled coffee poured

memories of dreams are painted

as daytime thinking roared

separating fact from whim

the daily process starts

day-thoughts slowly seep in

while night-sights fall apart

8 October 2006

thoughts that roll around my head

ricochet, bounce and careen

I try to sort them out instead

they smash to smitherines

at least to slow them down a bit

could help me let them go

but as I try to disinherit

they just grow and grow

I guess I need to tolerate

their abundant presence

allow them to participate

in this life-sentence

19 October 2006

I ask the question

again and again

and don't believe

it's ever been

proved to me

in what I hear

preached by those

who call it fear

I sense that

answers do arrive

in quiet times

it comes alive

I still take heed

in bells that peal

but know the truth's

in what I feel

24 October 2006

waiting alone

at the side of the road

I can't move

this heavy load

I sit and wait

for one to be

kind enough

to carry me

every day

I cling to hope
