Ill on the inside candor eludes
dodging light and opting
instead for the lies
passed around at board
meetings like propaganda
Cock and bull creation.
Unconscious cannot be
conscious
Deception hovers waiting
its turn
Coveting its place.
Codify your darkness
mistrust failure insecurity
Grant order to chaos
of the heart
Seek solace perpetually
In another?s tenet.
Unconscious cannot be
conscious
Deception hovers waiting
its turn
Coveting its place.
Intrinsic to each to all
Struggle assimilate value
Darkness to illumination
Hand in hand a balance
Vital as blood breath
Petition truth as heroic quest.

Your hands held my tears today
A waterfall of salt stained
heart pressed soul wrung
Beginning from a distance
reeling fear in its blackest shadow
Unfolded sorrow unexpressed loathing
melted muted dreams
All tumble from eyes that viewed
horror as joy bareness as bounty thorns as caresses.
Your hands held my tears today
and when fingers could no longer contain them
They became pearls
dropping rolling tumbling
transformed to tiny moons of wisdom
hair-breadth strands of sunlight.
Last night in the silence
my questions were answered
alone, lying in a darkened meadow
under the indifference of the starry sky
It seems the universe refuses to be categorized
laughs when we try to measure Her
No ending or beginning
from big bang of nothingness
into atoms with electrons, planets with moons
Neutrinos from nowhere
passing through brain casing and soul
Energy, invisible and everywhere
in the beating of hummingbird’s heart
cracking of seed, exploding star
I wonder if ancient woman lying under night sky
knew her mysterious feeling
was the omniscient presence of timeless woman.
