more young souls, lost
shedding the burden of flesh
barely worn from living
victims of insanity
and obstinate hoarders
of self-serving entitlement

For Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poem 42 Day 19. Today midst the joy of royal weddings and happy blogger gatherings, let us also remember that there are families mourning, their story dusted aside as yesterday’s news. And the insanity of my country rages on. 😊

From this subject not in zoom:
why the longing
never satisfied
ever striving
breathe…
everything you need
is here and now

tour de force
triumph
in grace thrusting
so to feel the sun’s kisses
the sprout bursts through concrete

Unaffected
I could lose myself
in the rain tapping on the window…plop…plop
mid-day drowsy, under fluorescent lights, strobing
I could, but I won’t
it has taken me far too long to find myself…
and this isn’t me…no, not by a long shot
