The Dandilion
Vibrant yellow hues, Rooted deep. Springs up joyfully Only to be pulled or poisoned. The innocence of children See their beauty They are collected in bouquets A mother’s gift in a glass vase. They blow their cotton Their second stage, Into the air. Unbound joy, on those that remain. Perseverance is a…

See the Unseen: Sonnet
To walk upon stormy- raging waters An inner fear to reach out and believe, Visions can become clouded tears. Straining eyes- to see- absorb- to perceive. There’s hope that’s reaching from within the fog. Is it not seen, beams of sun breaking through? Why is a heart not trusting the voice in the smog? Is…

Distorted, Dull, Ordinary
Not far from ordinary. Defined as unusual, Or should whom be the inquiry Of the mediocre? Self designated judges? By whose definition? To be marked as quite obscure? Unfair and unabridged Manipulation of power! Raised up high by whom? Only foolish self- glory, Apparently frivolous In understanding value. Excellence is inward, Virtue radiates from…

Shaft of Wheat

Cycles, seasons, and the cycle of life Some in the wilderness, of solitude, Finding the chaff of un-plenty. Whose seed produces, weakness of, love so yearning. Wheat- A symbol of…

Footsteps heavy- laboring task In the mire Toward, refreshment and completeness. Heavy rains. Reaching, the water’s- cooling edge Cleansing, look forward Removing, inner filth…

Twenty-four hour, cycle of Time
The sun falls upon the horizon. Revealing the beauty before night As the moon replaces its glory Illuminating darkness in sight. It is to be seen, as will be heard. No longer will she silence the night. Nor deafen the strong voice inside. Or shall the still small voice hide. Under the darkness…

Firm Foundation
Hiding within oneself, result of shame, regret, Hoping no one sees. As the shameful bite brought up bile In the original sin, hid, Naked and Afraid. First initial feeling of panic set in A feeling unknown Due to heaviness that binds. Into confusion and uncertainty; unrest Tremendous darkness blankets upon Permeating every perceived space. Once…

Enchanted Plains
To define the land of enchanted plains Where mountain peaks rise into heaven, And seas, rivers, streams drink the rains. Beasts roam the land’s altering leaven. Men armed and battled, ready to patrol. The sacred stairs to the king’s grand castle, Set upon the highest hill to control. Savages n’ thieves; the kingdom’s hassle. A…
