Standing still as waves
All seems calm until
Nothing under holds while
Depth pulls from below
Sudden drop takes hold

Out for my daily sunrise walk and stairs workout down by the waterfront. I didn't think the sun was going to get through the clouds, but there she is!

This world is utterly #perplexed
Some people should be shoved into an observation chamber
The don’t seem to understand
Their decisions #ripples down and affect everyone poorly,

They think themself #stylish. Above the rabble below. Worth more than the common person

TRUTH
 
Time and time again, I
Rummaged through your words,
Undoing each vow, each promise of love,
Testing what held and what fell away,
Hoping to find something that stayed.

Tear it out and say it as
Rumor floods the gaps where
Understanding breaks so
Those who dodge it get
Hit with what remains

Streams

I grasped at fire,
a blur of heat
slipping.

Ran through woods,
fuel everywhere,
nothing caught.

Scorched fingers
falling into cold babbles,
the stream swallowing
what flickered.

Feelings submerged,
silt closing over,
until all that remained
was numbness.

Grabbed me, we whisked off.
Feet walking on unseen ground—
I didn't know but
No man has whisked me like this.
What kind of danger do you bring?
