In Solace

I live in an aura of prolonged isolation On the edge of the city my hermitage thrives Alone with my thoughts the world but an orphan In solace indentured — I serve and I thrive (The New Room: June, 2026) When Least Expected Out of left field or deep in the night The words come unbidden as welcome delights Not knowing the minute or hour they’re born They enter my consciousness raw unadorned When trying to call them they often ignore My summons and pleadings that knock on their door But when least expected their gift a surprise The breath I’ve been missing — that keeps me alive (The New Room: June, 2026) To Dream Teach them to wonder And teach them to search Teach them to love As you teach them — to dream (The New Room: June, 2026) Never Let Time Never let fear determine your future Never let distance turn you away Never let critics dissuade or discourage Never let time with its limits — betray (Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
