WILL HOPE SUCCUMB

____________________

Life has scattered seeds

Waits for the memories to

Grow into longing                              -  

To relive past victories

To feel youth's passion                      -   

To Bring Back Things Lost, Many

Many Like Flowers                            -    

Many Like Flowers

tap muddy feet, delighting

one crimson petal                             -   

Open wide, drink up the sun

Now, tis time for fun                          -  

and profound reflections with

tender threnodies... (Funeral Song)    -   

life’s strewn seeds yielded thorns

will hope succumb?                          - 

Will hope succumb?

your freedom starts at dry grounds

take it, keep walking!                        - 
It is about the journey 

The road less traveled                       -   

To where It stands, Singular,

Calling the Walker …                        - 

Waiting for the memories

To help me forget.                            - 

To help me forget

greener grasses, purple haze

colour yesterday                              - 
thoughts so haunting

traveling through the air                    -  

My soul searches for love, peace,

Savoring the view                            - 
I pretend the clouds are hills

on the horizon.                               - 

On the horizon

dawn births the egg of fire

to sear the sky pink                        -  

With reflections of tall birds

Flaming with bright love                   - 
gazing at strangers

in this familiar photograph                - 

In this familiar photograph

memories lap at your feet

a forever flow of holy green               -
