CHAIRS
two souls seen unseen twinsouls of flesh and spirit mind . body . heart . humanity two chairs empty face to face engaged in their vacancy commingled regardless of absence of presence connected conversations among the earthy wood the tree-lined journey toward the living the light toward discovery hand holding in sacred spirit electric honesty captured moments t h r u s t g o a l i v e naked in truth partners in creation engulfed by essence surrounded in beauty hearing the pulse walking the path feeling the rumble respecting the synapse sitting in silence a journey to the divine thru peace and propulsion generosity and vulnerability skyscraper ladders to the open skies to stardust vacancy to the vast to the vurt to fulfillment to bliss |

Sky
The bluest sky with wisps of clouds Looming haughtily above Knowing all that we do not Home to both dark and light Landlord to hurricanes, tornadoes, and rainbows Infusing all below it With life sustaining sun Keeper of fowl big and small Maintaining the division Between Heaven and Earth Inspiring poets |

Chasing Answers I ran for long minutes this morning I raced in the sun And splattered the edge of the ocean I fought with my wrestle and Stretched from my base And I found No answers I leapt across imaginary hurdles I ran raw... Raced with the wind I tried to sneak around and inside And catch my soul by surprise Still I found No answers I stopped And I searched and I listened and sighed At First Just a whisper A slow, patient echo reaching inside Softly repeating what I already know About chasing answers There are No Answers Only Decisions |
