I believe you can
Despite all of it
I believe you might
With much upon you
I believe the now
Shines bright in your eyes
Ignite

Every Post is a Person
Reclamation
After you died
In my dreams
I only saw you
Diminished and fading
At the end
Now I see you
Young
Tan
Standing
In the sun
Smiling

Darkness Is Not Blindness
Darkness is not blindness
Adjustment is slow
Things around you
Take shape
Patience the only tool
Until the world has form again
Homeless Words
Sometimes
Words together
Sound good
To the ear
Devoid of meaning
And homeless
In a notebook
They hum
Waiting for your pen
To guide them home

Resilience Is a Skill
Bad rolls down hill
An unseemly fact
Change is a force of will
All throughout our acts
Resilience is a skill
The thoughts we don’t enact

Just Bend
Evidence
Isn’t the Enemy
Failure
Isn’t the End
Reaction to
The game is
Friend
The goal is
Not to break
Just bend

Within
Sometimes
I think ahead
Or dwell
In the past
Only in the now
Can I hear
The quiet hum
The nameless song
The beloved echo
Within

Only Slow Recognitions
You’re self contained
Nothing else is missing
Any loss or pain
Don’t take to dismissing
The are no gains
Only slow recognitions

The Best of Song Is About Surrender
There is nothing wrong
With giving up
The best of song Is about surrender
That for what you long
Has ever torn you asunder
