When our lives begin to bend
as #horizons give in to night
Will you draw my wrinkled hands
still trust my shrinking touch
Will you invite my fading kiss
and receive my chastened heart
Will you forgive my faithless words
and for one day more
will you share with me a life

Shimmering, the shore
reminds of life
and truth forgotten
Conceding fidelity
to merciless receding tide
at paling day
Silencing celebration
in fading hopes to happiness
of liberties in life
Yet flaming, dawn will rise
as advancing tide restores
our life to barren shores

"Truth has to be given in riddles. People can't take truth if it comes charging at them like a bull. The bull is always killed. You have to give people the truth in a riddle, hide it so they go looking for it and find it piece by piece; that way they learn to live with it."

“For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don’t know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us.”

The call of Autumn is a whisper, soft and subtle.
It's the way the sun works in tandem with the wind
embracing with a kiss and a caress,
that reminds me of a lover returned.

Our nation endures
wars and division
hatred disease
As imposters play President
posers pretend God
Facts are rewritten
truth turns to fiction
without fidelity or faith
Still we survive
hoping to a future
in grace
Then we rise up
from ashes of hate
And we #journey on
