Compelled, I walk alone
The fog follows
As if ghost can cast a shadow
Colorless in darkness
The scent all too pedestrian
For these steps that visit
On the fringe- of water wet
As it lashes the beach
Wave after pounding wave
Over and over, punishment
Seeping beneath- the grains
Filtering out bitterness
Only to be inundated again
Its too hot to breathe
And yet, my bones shiver
From the other side of- us
I still cling to each drop of hope
That, the waves will subside
The sun will again rise
You find me- here- waiting
And for but a little colorful while
I can love you dryly…in warm peace

Ascribe
Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths
