crutch for the unenlightened

 

Support system

for the crippled mind

Last Bell

 

Senses untamed,

spaces to reign

 

Bodies that die,

spirits to fly

 

Length or by width,

time is a myth

 

Dimension aground,

essence refound

 

Eyes looking forward,

eyes looking back

 

Eyes looking inward,

soul reattached

 

All that was spoken,

providence sings

 

Grand sublimation

—last bell to ring

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

The Bricks You Lay

 

Is your house built out of certainty,

are the walls made thin or stout

 

Is your mind filled up with questions,

do you live in fear or doubt

 

Is your spirit free or servile,

is your will unchained or slave

 

Is your heart the trowel you build with,

and love

—the bricks you lay
