Hickories glow bright;
Summer’s sunshine yellow saved,
For this gloomy day.

By the riverside,
We walked, myself, and three dogs.
The dogs were content.

Little Lightening Bug,
Shines bright in the rainy night.
Alone, she is calling.

Twirling and whirling,
Into the abyss we dare.
Dancing with devils,
Screeching and weeping,
We sing out our song,
A new song of death.
We sneeringly mock
Our own hopes and
Our dreams.
Souls are trafficked
In an internet cloud,
For with clicks and
Broken hearts,
The loss of free will.
In the abyss we dance,
With the same ancient
Devils we know.

Straddling fault lines,
We dance above the abyss.
There is no safety.

I clothe myself
In the weariness
Of a new day.
Turning East,
Squinting in
Brightness,
I laugh aloud.
I smile unseen,
My heart beating
Away the lonesome.
Yet, I long for
The no face mask
Of darkness,
The ear stopping
Silence of sorrow,
Weeping and wailing
Alone and untouched,
In the vastness
Of forsaken.

The No Face

In the silvered night
Silent shadows
Keep pace
Beside me.
Bears, wolves,
Coyotes
Melt into
Changling trees,
And full moon
Flowers.
My fear
drifts away
In the silky
darkness.
I follow,
whimpering,
Searching
For the familiar.
Blackness
Covers me
In flowing waves
Of remembered
Grief, warm
And sweet as
A lovers vows,
Withheld.

A song never sung
Was silenced by an owl’s
Whispered hunting flight.

Deceptively soft,
Warming breezes contrast with
Winter’s shadowed cold.
