Exhaustion

Dropping from behind the moon.
The air is still and washed out clean.
It failed to make it Past
The dying monsoon.
In a circle, my minds will sit as
The scents of Sun and orange blooms
Dance within the atmosphere.

Surprise

Surging waves enlace my heart
Submerge me in flavors
Of grace and wonder.
The unthinkable approaches me,
And stares down my vessel;
Chooses me, for joy or sorrow,
Dare I say, I feel too special?

Loneliness

Surrounded with noise, with arms,
With eyes, yet not feeling known,
Or seen; yet not hearing anything
But my chanting bones.
This melody of breakage,
Of rattling with fear;
An untold wish to disappear.

Connectedness

Lighter than feathers,
Brighter than this planet’s colors
A palette of warm, and cold,
And neutral; Painting perfection.
A flock of eccentrics,
with crowns of marigold,
In whom I can see my own reflection.
