Wounded And Free (+3)

Honing the blade of life’s

 greatest adventure

The edges were sharp

 with the meaning inspired

It shaved like a razor

 as days became short

The last cut the deepest

  —left wounded and free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)

Feasting On Famine

Feeding on my hunger

 the days were longer still

That yet to come and still undone

 left victim to my will

Starvation my horizon

 its emptiness on fire

Unending pangs my souls repast

 —a famine to inspire

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)

Last Doubt

Each breath gets me closer,

 as the past moves away

With choices much clearer,

  turning night into day

One meaning unchosen,

 its Angel benign

Forever most willing

 —last doubt now divine

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)

        From 'The Book Of Prayers'

One Time Forever

The night retreats in silence,

  as daylight rules the fray

Darkness reigns the past goodbye

  this moment not a dream

The present all we’re given

 the future lies astray

Repeating truth inside itself

 —one time forever means

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)
