SKIN AND BONES

Skin and bones.

That’s what we are.

Easy to break.

Easy to fall.

Don’t crumble.

Keep strong.

Keep fit.

In mind,

body,

and soul.

DEPTHS

 

Stairs lead

To the depths

Of my sadness.

I can’t go on.

I must rest.

Replenish my spirit.

Revitalize my soul.

But first sleep.

ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS

Alone with my thoughts.

Lost in my dreams.

Darkness in my soul.

 

A deserted forest.

Empty of people.

Devoid of sound.

 

No movement.

No sunlight.

Only endless trees.

 

My thoughts ring

Loud and clear

In this empty void.

THE PERFECT ESCAPE

No reason to leave this room.

Books provide sustenance.

Words to soothe the soul.

THE SPOT

A peek at perfection
is what I need.

A glimpse of heaven
to fill my soul.

The hot sun
to fulfill my yearnings.

It’s here for me
in this one spot.

PETALS TO THE SKY

🥀 

 

 

Smoke fills my lungs,

I stand strong.

Petals to the sky,

I fulfill my destiny.

Tears burn holes

never to be filled.

Demons in my soul

leave scars never repaired.

Each sigh forces a step back.

Each storm bends my stem a bit more.

I persevere through the rain,

the sleet,

the snow.

I yield to the sun and the moon.

I take what is given.

I replace when I’m able.

Though dry are my leaves,

I lift them to the sky.

Though parched are my lips,

I face the sun.

Smoke burns my eyes,

but I see clear.

I bow my head.

A LOST SOUL

Island of lost souls (1932)

Am I alone?

Someone is sitting beside me.

I turn.

There’s no one there.

Only the reflection

of a lost soul.
