Sound Bites: 7-30-2024

Abeyance

Raging

against the machine

Dying

in the light

Counting

the hours till darkness

Waiting

— for delight

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

Storm Clouds

I wanted to speak my mind

until I changed it

I wanted to write a book

without the critic  

I wanted to fall in love

until I lost her

I wanted wealth and fame

— without the thunder

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

Cosmic Shelf

A Shooting Star

In A Mason Jar

Preserved And Waiting

So Near — So Far

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

The Weight

Some carry the burden

early

Some carry the burden

late

Some carry the burden

deep inside

Some carry the burden

— of fate

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)

Circuit Bard

Neurons 

are mindful

And fire

as healers

Defying

the symptoms

Igniting

— the cure
