Dressed Demurely

Raindrops drip deep
Paths of light arch and shine
And still I can never know myself.

Furrows in the soul
Sadness took its toll
Filled now with the joyful rain

Blinding radiant
Without self
Nothing but light

The addition of spirit
Like a splinter
Brings pain, but life.

Without the two
Death walks
Dressed demurely in Flesh.

Breath

Breath is simple. Breathing not so.
Like so many dreams.
Being easier than doing.

Has it always been the case?
I think so.
Perhaps later, we will know.

Contrast

At times shattered dreams must give me pause;
Hallowed darkness the light shines so easily through cracks;
Broken, unable to reassemble on their own;
Perhaps that is my place?

Lost, in a hole forgotten;
Always hope, even in shattered dreams;
A brightness, reflected on pieces underfoot;
A light shines brighter in contrast.

All It Takes

A moment in time, trapped for a split second.
Eyes meeting in between letters of spoken words.

That is all it takes to know of silence,
That is all it takes to know of love,
Words alone can not describe,
The feeling of another's smile.
