Through the unglazed window,

Tranquility seeped in,

As thoughts clouded the mind, …

Protected and alone,

Is where I crave to be.

Mostly. …

Some paths,

Have crossed mine.

And I wonder how life, …

Strange to see,

Old-time soldiers,

Marching in the streets. …

Rusted hinges,

Peeling paint,

Hidden secrets, …

When winters arrives,

I will feel their spirit,

Once more, …

Alone,

Surrounded by those,

She hardly knows. …

Kindness,

Takes many forms.

Even unexpected, …

It is wonderful,

And heart-warming,

To see the new, …

One day long ago,

She carved a heart,

Inside me, …

There is always a way,

To fix the broken.

Perhaps not ideal, …

Away from it all,

Is where I want to be.

Unseen and free. …

It is a gift,

To naturally arise,

With a morning smile. …

Perhaps the symmetry,

In life I seek,

Is a reflection of simplicity, …

Life’s bitter moments,

Come and go,

But they can be sweetened, …

Togetherness,

Closeness,

And support. …

An evening sky,

That cannot decide.

Shall I rain, …

Hidden from view today,

Is where I want to be,

And when I’m gone, …

Empty shells,

Wooden sticks and leaves,

Fashioned as in a dream, …

Grandeur,

Takes time,

Serenity and humility, …
