Devastation

Yelping dog, quiet!
I am rolling over the plains
of devastation

Hatchlings surrender
to the void that empties
the mind

Oh, when will they learn ?

It's too late, anyway.

At the seashore

Waves of summer

crashing, hitting, arriving

against the wide beach


at the edge

of the season, how

insignificant we are


powerful winds

like a tiger, roar

in the cloaked balmy night


to be so close

to the edge of time and matter

where it does not matter


Every sunrise. Enlightened.

Wings

When life throws you a bitter pill, it is best to remember - it is for our own good.

I am ready to leave everything behind
Take a leap of faith
And seek my destiny, build my own nest

I require little wings of encouragement, a little humble pie to swallow - a huge dose of commonsense.

I need to take charge
And charter my own path
Not according to the whims and fancies

Others will tell me, it is a dangerous world out there. Find your wings. Take it slow.

I shall find my wings to sail through
With prayers that enlighten and strengthen
My purpose and devotion

Here is my hand, held out. Please lead the way.
