Surge

My heart beats slowly The grass waves in the wind Above in the distance is an evening star Shimmering bright in the dark My shadow dances in the murky pool A reflection of a shared reality With the wind, the stars, and everything Currents of feelings begin to escape Drowning the night above Brilliant waves of a light rise in unison The horizon of fire Across the fields Into the forest...

Ambivalent

In Reverse

Pressing stop instead of go Simple verse simple slow Backing up not too fast Going forward in reverse Free and clear Open road Sunset backward Slowly goes Hands and feet Rhythmic pace Don’t look up Or around Going straight Side to side Always somewhere Always fine Don’t look back Stay instead Somewhere freer Lies ahead
