I will not go
That way again,
Following imaginary trails,
To woeful ends,
Seeing cages as castles,
And cliffs as bridges,
Dancing with snowmen,
This is ending
Before it is beginning
Tag: Acceptance
Sorry.
November 28, 2016
I am sorry,
for my forthcoming,
for my audacity
At the wrong times
my delayed boldness
sometimes,
always,
gets the best of me.
When for me
answers are finally clear
I sometimes overlook the
Other 7.5 billion people here.
I am sorry.
I am not quite sure
what I had expected.
I did not mean to intrude.
There was a reason
I avoided
indulging
these thoughts,
hopes, memories.
I am sorry.
I respect,
As you did,
I do and will respect
as much for you.
Freeman,
I now know
how much is at stake
When sand slips
An entire decade away
I am sorry.
though before
what was written
still holds true.
I am sorry for my
selfishness.
You are a more noble man
Than I.
I am sorry.
May your hearts be full,
And love surrounding;
Healing,
Happiness,
Meaning,
Purpose,
Peace,
because.
As Peace
July 25, 2017
Acknowledging the things
one might ache for
or ward against,
detaching enough
to see that want
and, or aversion
was destroying any chance
at tranquility,
realizing acceptance,
when it delicately settles
on the apex between extremes,
as peace
Shifts
May 21, 2017
Drip drip drops
of quiet contemplation
Pieces and perspectives
Settle into place
Finding peace
on a stage set:
Swings rock,
Rain washes
Paradigms
shift
