Deep Within (+1)

Deep within the ashes,

a last ember burned alone

 

A final spark to light the torch,

to guide your spirit home

 

Deep within the ashes,

a last beacon in the fight

 

Refusing to let the darkness take

—your vestige into night

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)

 

 

The Eagles Eye

 

Like a telescope in focus,

the words get sharp and clear

 

And magnify within the thought,

a feeling oh so dear

 

Each letter worth a hundred times,

what yesterday did know

 

New verse now burning laser bright,

—eternal in its glow
