Losing my grip I stumble and fall
Sink in further to the abyss of the deadliest
Dream
Faltering I open my hands
Allow myself to be swept away in mires of
Dusty clay
Night looms large it’s towering presence
Cowers me
I’ll hide until the unwavering sun ushers in a
Forgiving day.
Birds sing
And the sun drops
Light fades
And the dark brightens
Stars twinkle
While the moon beams
Day turns like clockwork
Into night
Seeking new beginnings
Waiting for the thrill
Impatiently enduring
Time’s boring bitter pill
Can my life be altered
Somewhere near or far?
Lift me from my current
To the nearest star!
Out towards the heavens
My eyes – they lift aright
For I hope tomorrow
Dawns after this long night
A still dark night
Leaves me alone
To ponder thoughts,
My fears.
Consumed by anxiety
I hear the buzz of silence –
That hum when all is still
A connection, maybe
With the world that cannot be seen
The dimension that is above
The natural world
Where our loved ones wait
Patiently to welcome us
And outside a cricket
Chirps.
Beautiful stars
Twinkle at night
Dance in the shadows
Of the moonlight

Decisions of mine
Every choice I have made
Have all led me here
A silent moment
Alone, having company
Contemplating me
There is no escape!
Wondering what could have been
No door can I see
I long for release!
Echoes of a distant me
Dreaming silently
Night escapes
Like water slipping through my fingers
Every second drawing morning closer
And pushing time away and yet
I cannot sleep for my mind
Is not at rest
At the edge of
Endless blue oceans of sea
Steps urging me to
Cry out earnestly
Is there anyone to rescue me?
The dimming sun
Looks on humorously
Cooling the land while
Whispering quietly
Day is passed, welcome dark
Surfing the space
Between dreams
And reality
Surfacing from night
As morning dew appears
Two worlds connect –
Free spirit and
Earthly mind
