what is unseen
it’s unsettling
her sudden, bleak nakedness
but…her roots run deep

fallout
fallout
everything changed
nothing changed
i stand at the edge
of despair unable to exhale
shrouded in the dread
of threatened promises
unleashed by ignorance,
the stench of hate dripping
from the rafters amidst
wind-raped, naked trees
loss of daylight adding
insult to undeserved misery
a chill, an ungodly silence
cups my ears like a sonic boom
no one hears my screams…
even if they did, they’d revel
in my suffering, the transaction
of wholesale soul acquisition is
complete, bloodthirsty monsters
wielding the sickle to collect
a harvest sown by lies
justice buried alive under the heap
I’m fading to black,
clinging to embers of hope
flickering in the wake of rage
faint glimpses of love, compassion,
kindness, and truth to keep me
as winter approaches swiftly
from the four corners, everything
in its season…to sleep…to dream
spring is coming, she’s coming
she’s coming…right?
this little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
let it shine
let it shine
let it
shine

autumn haiku
autumn haiku
softly, fall the leaves
surrendering to the whirlwind
that whispers, ‘come home’

the graces
the graces
time and once upon ago
Euphrosyne’s amber tresses flowed
on wisps of autumn’s frosted breath
dear Aglaia, the tall and slim
in elegance, slow danced with wind
cloud-kissed, her raiment golden flecked
and Thalia, sweet Thalia blushed bright
her supple shallow roots held tight
as fledglings flitted from their summer nests
yes time and once upon ago
from seed to sprout these beauties showed
resilience when the tempests raged
they met each season shift with grace
flowered, fruited, shed their seed
the most magnificent of trees
and lovely still, though worn with age
if they could speak what might they say?
embrace each season of this life
dwell on the good, let go the strife
time steals away before you know
so learn to bend when fierce winds blow
let your roots spread deep and wide
reach to heaven’s North Star guide
then soft surrender to the loam
leave not a trace, but grace, come home

soulmate
soulmate
in another lifetime
I imagine we were friends
lovers even
how familiar your gaze felt
in the back of my eyes
something…you know?
you know.
the fates have me
engaged this incarnation
with other concerns
life, love, heartache,
happiness…joy
still hopelessly lost
but for a serendipitous,
ill-timed, breathtaking
encounter
on a street corner
in the rain, in autumn
a brief moment when
our eyes met and held
and I remembered…
I remembered
then you were gone

A bit of fantasy today. A mix of fiction and poetry. And a Disclaimer…no actual soulmates are implicated in this yarn. You know who you are and where and when and we’ll…you know. 😉🥰
