Surrender

Nothing Left

0524.2024

This evening are we not

All alone and lonely?

And this morning

Did you try to be still

And stay resting?

We are all together,

A movement suffering -

Let us hold hands,

And join our hearts,

Let us dance,

And sing songs,

Let’s love and laugh!

Praise the tough life -

Because there’s nothing

Left to suffer the loss of.

On Loss

A Love Has Died

1114.2020

A love has died.

I will bury it beneath

Twisted branches

Where flowers will bloom

In every color but blue,

And reverent birds will flock to their boughs,

Singing before their quiet triumph -

On Heartbreak

Untitled

There have been

many breaks

to my heart -

of this the most pieces.

To be

in the shadow

of the early evening

is bringing my eye to my heart

some doom as I sit

quietly to notice

the broken blue cup.
