Tonight
While a fresh snow caresses
Every opportunity of land around me
I wonder in the quiet shelter
About the breeze that for me offers arousal
To my senses
Like a beating sun on a hot summer’s day
I recognize beauty in Nature’s
Extremes
~
Alone
My world is far different than yesterday
When every motive drove my heart
Towards goals beyond my reach
Only to allow my soul
To regenerate its fury, pride
Could be felt
While the quiet skies drift slow overhead
Absolute
~
Quiet
The fear that strays inside a mind
When voices remind us of our ills
Still is the night
When all of our ambitions
Become simple memory
Doors that close
Are only journeys that suggest
Challenge
~
Solitude
Is where our intellects seek peace,
When the day’s traffic of completion
The avenues of accomplishment become
Cluttered with material angst
Lost souls
Always remembered but now forgotten
Beauty may stir in our heart
Recognize
~
Homeless
In the arctic blast of winter’s wrath
Her mind remembers home or some
Different time when life could breathe
Yet tonight she will stay warm
Layers of resilience
Will melt away the tears
That pool in the earth below her soul
Elegance
~
Justice
May cry out to every walking soul
To bury the demons of wealth and avarice
Look to the hurting masses
The sacrifices of our society
Open our hearts
Tonight, tomorrow and through the budding
Of spring’s flower pretty to every eye
Surreal
~
We will be recognized when we lay ourselves buried
By the words they use to describe our truly kind soul
