What Crosses My Mind

  • Silence by a Fire

    The quiet room a place where thoughts come to life bouncing off walls and never settling in the same. Only the licks of flame, the cracks as birch lights up to offer a solace, a peace from the strain. I’m listening intent hoping some break in the silence of my calcified mind. I could stay…

  • Solace Undefined

  • Seeking Solace

    Respond to all within sweet moment’s need Suddenly drawn to resolving a quiz The mind will venture further in its greed Real as such savors a temperate breeze In Man whilst heart is in common display Venture forth that desire to recognize Validation may cause the mind to sway Beyond our normalcy; what love belies…
