Shades Of Gray (+1)

Crossing a line

to do the right thing

Truth staring back

—the mirror is king

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2023)

 

 

Born To Wander

 

Rejected by parents

forsaken alone

One choice left to make

forever to roam  

 

The cost ever paying

their wages of sin

Steps of abandonment

traipsing within 

 

To beg or to borrow

the future on loan

The price of tomorrow

each moment unknown

 

With fate chasing after

both fortune and shame

A waif born to wander

—in search of a name
