Panic Attack

The pressure keeps building
Wish I could breathe again
Clinging to hope, that things
Will somehow be better
Some future date will bring
Everything I've dreamed

Before You Speak

With each word
You shatter my
Heart a little more
If only you could
Stop, let silence
Guide your thoughts
I know you regret
These spiteful words

April Showers

Soggy ground squishes beneath my soles
Silent earthworms wriggle out of the earth
To great this springtime deluge
Winter's snow has run away to the rivers
So close to overflowing, so begins the spring

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
