The Distance (+2)

We anticipate the future

 —by remembering the past

Where Dreams Have Laid

 

My writing conceals a deeper truth

  than common sense abides

 

Each word unwraps a higher sense

 than fame or fortune buys

 

Every breath I take, the future staked

 the moment crowned as King

 

All beds remade where dreams have laid

 —the present everything

The Freedom Within

 

Your ideas have merit,

 that your words can’t support

 

Your spirit is strong,

 but your language is weak

 

Your eyes are wide open,

 while your tongue remains tied

 

Your voice now enslaved

  —to the freedom within

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Write, Sing, See, And Feel

 

Write your way out

  of a book

 

Sing your way out

 of a song

 

See your way out

 of the darkness

 

Feel your way out

 —of what’s wrong
