Like A Child (+2)

I think like a Buddhist,

but pray like a nun

I see like the mountain,

but reach like the sun

I stand like Gibraltar,

but rage like the sea

And love like a child

—reborn unto Thee

(1^st Book Of Prayers: May, 2017)

Sum Zero

To fight a war

you cannot win…

 what are you to do?

As missiles fly

and billions die

—the blame belongs to who?

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

Beset

Genetics,

our cruelest mistress

the herald’s phantom

In fated shadow

a birthmark staining

—our darkest pall

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
