Sound Bites (June 25, 2024)
Blessed Quietude
Audibly
we rise
and fall
But Silence ...
is the language
of God
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
Lost In Place
The past
is never where you left it
Tomorrow
— delegitimizes today
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
Groupies
Liking ...
sometimes better
than loving
(Keith Richards: June, 2024)
First Step
Standing at the crossroads
and knowing that you’re there
Going left or going right
coin toss or a dare
Pushed by fate determined
into sorrow, joy, or pain
First step taken tells the tale
— of destiny proclaimed
(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)
