Double vision

what if

what if that moment contained
your whole life
in the infinity of its passing?
will you let it decide your
broken fate?
seek help before
it's too late

Goodbye to the light

Goodbye to the light,
Hello to the slipped in night,
What a fright was had.
"He could no longer fight it,"
Said the newspaper girl.
"What a swirl was his head,"
Said the postal lady,
"Between the news and lack
Of letters he knew better
Than to stay much longer.
His depression grew stronger
Or so they say,
But I'd wave every day
And he'd shoo me away so
I feel the diagnosis is true."
And so it was settled.
In the night came
And the great light waned
Until there was nothing at all.

Kindred spirit

Kindred of an aching heart
So far and hidden
To know and speak with you
Upon an open plain or
In a forest glade
Beneath a sacred tree
The earth who knows
Your face is silent
But I will supplicate
The ancient spirits
Until one night in sleep
A whisper in my ear
Will name you

O to hear a true song

O to hear a true song
Sung to me
In the dying light of day
To say a true word
Not in play but
With conviction
I'd be your captive listener
Your greatest fan
Intent on every word
A standing ovation with
My eyes
To greet the final line
Then I could live again
And the world
Be full of light
Once more
