as the sky falls outside

in violent crescendos and

the pages remain empty

(because sometimes words fail)

i surrender to the balance

that is music

i surrender to the stillness

that is me

09262012

another mindful serendipity...

a child hums

in the mist.

a ghost calls

from the past.

the old

becomes the new.

you speak as though

i cannot hear through you

but

i hear

(i do)

my own

inner voice

racing between

your elegant temples

tying up loose ends

and unraveling others

09192012

this body… a warrior.

this tongue… a flame.

this voice…

a blind poet in the night.

these fingers…

armored and ready to fight.

it is beside the point to paint

silver stars on a black ceiling

and crown them with haloes.

the sky is wide open.

i dare to fly!
