opening

unfettered
the silence is deep
and I am free in the night
my thoughts travel long

how strange, even in the sunlit desert
winter brings out night in my thoughts
this is not unwanted
but rather necessary
a need for balance
to explore and find answers

as my thoughts search out and in
words form in twilight
suspended between night and day
like a silver thread of purpose
that is woven through my soul

(Maybe coherent only to myself, but that is what's floating around
up there. For reasons unknown, I am compelled to open this door.)

...and on

solo
deep dreams are sent, on
the back of a shooting star
I sail into night

on....

overflow
anxious and waiting
I watch the light leave the sky
fill my open heart

eyes met

in vain
I knock at closed doors
looking for pieces I've lost
silence greets my ears

reality has a hard gaze to meet,
the face familiar, the look hard and sweet
yet we choose to be blind
looking deep into dark eyes
we see our own reflections
and look no farther


(I am feeling fractured tonight
losing myself
the pieces will join together again
I am not meant to be so scattered about)
