Groggy
Early morning light
a splash
of golden white
upon bleary eyes
unable to focus
first thing
make the risk
of stubbed toes
and bruised shins
climb
until cold water
splashed
on the face
brings everything
into focus
The Pause
Hidden cracks
and crevices
promise adventures
to be explored
in a world
natural
and alien
when we look
close enough
to see minute
fascinating details
often overlooked
as we pass by
on our way
to nowhere special
Depleted
Sometimes I feel
like a husk
of my former self
all sharp edges
and intricate bones
with no substance
left
to hold everything
together
and like
a mere breath
could crumble
what’s left of me
into dust
Anchored
Hold me tight
and don’t let go
as stormy seas
crash through
and chaos reigns
for only you
provide safety
in the storm
and shelter
from the chaos
that’s sure
to otherwise
rip me apart
Serenade
Let me
sing to you
of my love
from the
rooftops
of skyscrapers
as you listen
to my heart
laid bare
while my soul
breaks into
a song
that is yours
and yours alone
Uninspired
Even in a
field
filled with
nothing
but shorn grass
if you look
just a little
closer
you can find
pops of spring
smiling up
from the green
Twisting the Leaf
