Control
Breathe, with the rhythm
of the tides, and the peace found
in the sea's stillness.

Regrowth
Grass grows green, again,
the wounds of summer refreshed
by autumn's soft rain.

Humid
This summer air clings
to my skin, with the softness
of a silken sheet

One
Were we not all born
in the same conflagration
that gave birth to time?
My brother, my sister, how
could we have forgotten this?

A bit of foolishness, not unlike a the start of a honeymoon maybe…

Respite
Cooler air, again,
strokes me, with the hands of night,
promising comfort.

Account
Waste of life, to chase
inedible tokens, through
ruined dreams of peace;
I long for life with the soil,
and the songs of ancient Gods.

Fire
Air, heavy with scent
of my homeland's burning heart;
no tears can quench it.

“And in the silence slowly, I begin to unravel. I find that within me there is a field of flowers.
In the absence of impressions I spot a glimmer. Of a soul that sings and an ear that listens - stillness at last.
A gentle breeze of calm - the quiet so warm. A soft sway of the cornflowers at dawn.”
- a poem by me

Respite
Seek shade as a shield
and rebirth from grinding heat;
the trees know kindness.
