Thoughts that Remain

where there is light

darkness cannot prevail

when there is resolve

the mind can find peace

when one feels remorse

the healing process can begin

If one pursues wealth

their heart will become poor

reaching back to the past

makes us it’s prisoner

relying on technology

makes slaves of us all

Fire Escape

starlight during the day

I hear her call

moonlight shines down

I see her fall

escape down a fire escape

to hide from them all

embrace dreams

to hold a candle too

reposition life

to a standstill

beckon forth from within

thirst for knowledge

the key to begin

I welcome the rain

I welcome the rain

for when it arrives 

life is renewed

as if on a spring morning

one chooses life

the crescent moon

adorning the skyline

sometimes our feelings

turn into doubts 

but they are just fleeting

 

through mirrors 

the reflections of the dawn 

waiting for the sunlight
