The Daily Dread

Yesterday



lacking energy
to try and find a mountain
in a haystack now




the best abyss time
the worst abyss time sushi
raw wrapped existence



I just peeked into the abyss and the abyss peeked back #NoPeeking



mountain comes to me
I go to the mountain or
walk with a mountain

The Daily Dread

Yesterday



Saucer reflections
Like pansy petals reveal
An alien face
On the prowl for more subjects
Suitable for abduction



Interstellar grail
The frisbee flying saucer
Is headed our way



In the here and now
Maliciousness on the prowl
In crappy cosplay



Riffle sidewalk leaves on barren tree lined streets for October night prowl




My how you have grown
She said with a breathy moan
Eye flutter koan

Escape

Grinding years
reduce me
to dust, to be
blown away
by a breath
of time.
Should I,
in some measure,
coalesce
in memory,
in awareness,
it will be
to seek a way
to end
the ages of growth,
the cycles
of dust,
and burn, instead,
lost
and free,
in the madness
of eternal
passion.

People ask why I always post poems on Tuesday—such a mundane day. That’s the point. We fight the good fight, speak truth to power, burn bright—but it’s who we are in the quiet, ordinary moments that defines us, that tells the story of our lives. 💙 #poems #writingcommunity #blueskypoets
