BETTER DAYS
Maybe, looking back,We will see this as a start:When we saw life wasn’t for ourselvesAnd learned to give our hearts. Maybe it’s the darknessThat conditions us for light.Perhaps the wonder of new dayLies just beyond this Night.

CHIMERAS
“…it is one of the fatalities of humanity to be condemned to eternal combat with phantoms. It is difficult to seize darkness by the throat, and to hurl it to the earth.” Chimeras are not real. They never were. The lion exists. A goat is real, serpent too, but not the way Man […]

FINALLY
I admitted I was lonely: And so I wrote it down. Then put it out to all the world In hopes it might be found; That I might learn and come to see It wasn’t only me; That someone else might feel the same And feel a friend in me. I’ve never been […]
