In the ocean of silence, I’m stunned 
Astonish by its grandeur as I descend.
A comely curtain of conciliatory calm
Elapse the chaos, surreptitious and warm.

Waking me in the wake of her brilliance
words spoken,written in convoluted high tones
ringing meaning esoteric and quite unknown

"Alienation"


Burning through the atmosphere
a diamond hugs herculean, demanding, meteoric,
fast like a sharp spear aimed at Zion in the
obsidian night sky deep, so vast, dotted here

A restricted freedom is not
a true freedom at all...
to allow the mind to think less;

Friends? Reunited

Via "Facebook Message" the invitation 
Reached me - bold in bright blue tint
With sprawling “school days” animation

But as life moves on

Legs that went on and...

A cosmic gulf of enormity besets thee,
