This Darkness Our Friend

In darkness we begin
Where consciousness emerges
Rhythmic thudding greets our ears
Surrounded, wrapped tight
Completely calm and secure
Nothing to fear, no failures made
Waiting for life to begin

Light Pollution

We've captured the stars
They guide us still
Through darkest hours
So bright they obscure
The heavens from view

She circles slowly
Around his light
With each passing
She transforms
Life emerges through
Each new Phase

Silent watchers gaze
Capturing glimpses of
Brilliants blues and
Vivid greens below
His white canopy

Spring

Death reaches out
From frozen ground
Newly melted snow
Reveals tilted husks
Puddles gather to speak
Of new life underneath
Raging winds trumpet
The coming of spring
