Substance
Filled with substance, Never know who I’ll be next - A person in disguise Like the back of an earring, Lost in the fibers Unsure of what thought comes next - But I feel more aware, Yet still so alone - Misunderstood, Substance, You’ve held me so tight.

EMPTINESS
I speak my thoughts...you do not hear. I reach to touch...you are not near. I matter not to you, nor to any other. I am invisible...you do not see me. I have no face; I have no substance. I try to speak, there are no words...you took my voice! So, now I huddle, fetal form. I...

It's all me How I perceptualise I place the chalice of expectation within reach Then plead with my shadow for just one sip I myself project the watchers, to create my own unease Always completely lost to the now No sense of what comes after My inner shadows arms flail Yet I hold wisdom in my hand The hand I hold inexplicably outstretched If...

Isadora
She leaves footprints – on the wet concrete of blinded doubts, For she has carved lives - - like graven images on the palms of her hands, There is substance in her eyes, fire in her soul, zest in her spirit, And her passion? – She is anchor, rudder and dock, sail and compass, Storms are her vanquished for she kindles hope to enliven her...
