I feel a shadowy like presence
Swirling about daily moments
It creeps in on time gone awry
Cleverly hiding in open view
Or in corners of rolling eyelids
A conscious choice of avoidance
Frowns that overtakes cold silence
Words that do cut us the deepest
For us that understand- depths
It brings an unmatched affliction
Through decay of love and effort
Like abandon flowers, or values
Stealing morsels of self-worth
Until living becomes… withering

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
