I sat here awhile,
Trying to find reason,
Why I should remain where I am.
There’s so much out there,
I haven’t touched.
I needed to make a new plan.

Rising from this bench,
Where I have spent
Too many days in the dark
I’ll take a leap of faith,
And head for the stars.
It’s time for me to make my mark.

The universe is calling to me
I need to go,
I just can’t wait.
It’s been too long,
Since I was free.
The galaxy, opened its gates

Onward, I will take my soul
Find the path
Laid out, I can see.
The sky’s the limit,
There’s nothing to stop…

Me… from being me.

The Sun Also Sinks – #MayWriting – #poetry

A feeling of floating, amidst the clouds

Far, far away from the raucous crowds

Letting it lull me, into a sense of calm

The still of the water, tis my only balm

Mirrored reflections, a light in the dark

A journey unto myself, on this, I embark

And though my soul continues to seek

I realize, I am still one, among the meek

My heart, skips a beat, it longs ever more

For a way to stay, away from the shore

As I watch the day, up above me, shrink

It is then I realize that the sun also sinks

Beyond the horizon, she whispers goodbye

A wave of my hand, and a tear, from my eye

Awaiting the moment, she returns, ever bright

Lighting the heavens, and chasing the night

The Maze – #poetry – #whatdoyousee?

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Peering cautiously, into the maze
The wall, ahead, halts my quizzical gaze

A choice to make, which way to follow
Nothing to guide, the path is hollow

Shall I go left, or better to go right?
I must decide, and allay this fright

Of losing myself, inside this place
Yelling for help, would be a disgrace

I must show myself, I am able to cope
Find my way out, never giving up hope

No matter the path, I know I’ll survive
I just need to make out of here, alive

But first, I need to find my center
Before this circuitous maze, I enter

Tis then I can follow, this uncharted course
Head into the unknown, with no remorse

To make it through, no haste, nor hurry
And leave that pesky thing, called worry

At the beginning, where it all began
Without foresight, nor map, nor plan

And while these walls may confound
Finding my way, will be quite profound

It’s Always Been There

You said it’s always been there
Kept tucked away, waiting to be born
To be released, unleashed, set free
Into new horizons, beyond the
Rising of the sun and moon, before
The setting of light into darkness
It’s been there, awaiting its time,
Biding its course, finding itself,
I ask, what has always been there?
I pray, please tell me, what is it?
You simply answer….your soul.

Between Midnight and Morn – #NaPoWriMo

It’s that time again, that time after midnight,

and before dawn, when the only thing you hear

is the loud silence that surrounds, taking up space

in the darkness of night, casting shadows against

a black wall. You blink and still the dark exists,

blink again, but it doesn’t disappear. Search

for the light that left with the day, as you drift,

in and out of what is real or what you have

imagined. Will you ever find it again? Are you

even looking for it? Do you know what it is or

have you lost your way, between the disquiet,

of midnight and morn…
