Reuben’s Day 2

New books of wonder
Softly bleed their hope
Into stiffled sandwiches
Giving way to lower means
A great journey postponed
And hastened at once

Event Horizon

Beyond horizons

Made from unknown happenstance

Lies bright elation

Lunar Slumber

Quieted half moon
Perches the horizon
Engorged in atmosphere
Waxing upward
Sinking beyond sight
Awaiting slumber

Ebb and Flow

Tides of open hearts

Ebb with sharp unknown purpose

Flow from tired scars

One Lesson I Learned

Be open and your loved ones will close the wounds that bleed in silence.

Soyez ouvert et vos proches seront fermer les plaies qui saignent en silence.

If I Could

If I could

I would eat your sadness

Into myself and hold it there

Away from tired tears

And broken hearts

Where different shades of azure

Swirl in vicious whirlpools

Making new colors

Dancing in melancholy

For better times remembered

And brighter futures untold

Reuben’s Day

Krauted beef
Mimosa sun
Grating rakes
On an empty pond
Verdant triangles
Forged digitally
Crooning flute
Heard deep within
Fiver in fallen leaves
A trade for malachite
And happiness
