When Love Cringes

When Love cringes
At the words uttered
Or written in a text
In a message 
Meant to put the finger
On the wound
On the slashed ripped skin
Of the heart

Forgiveness

Can I peek at you
Through the branches 
Of solitude?
Can time and space
Finally melt 
Between us?
Can I be any different?
Can I be otherwise?

They Say…

They say… They say… They say… They say… They say… They say… They say…
Tired 
Of 
These
Voices

looking up at a group of trees

Redwood Tangle

The call to stand
Stronger than life itself
To reach for the sun
True to its nature
Of growing erect
Even while embracing
Other limbs

The Quairing, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Dare

Dare
And in your daring
Never think twice to jump
Catch the wind
Under your wings
No matter what
Voices and souls
Lift you up 
Like a feather
