raging storm

I walk and wade
along a line in the sky

drawn by verses
twinkling in the night

a lullaby

calling out
sounds and notes

the last defense against allegories
of misanthrope

a raging storm

calmed
by tides of peace, love, and hope

stamped and sealed

my emotions crumble, as the weight of the world
trembles

walking in the forest, I pick cherry pits from
the ceiling

and

loose the heavens upon my heart, with one wish
and prayer

I dare

to walk among the trees, and see faith in humanity

a dream

when worlds collide among egoistic travesties

crimson colored roses, remind me of bloodshed and
gore

in the moment

resting along the thorns, dreams leak from my eyes,
as arises

despise

while peace lives on the other side, in an envelope
of bliss

I send it along with my heart, stamped and sealed with a kiss


Sending all of my love and prayers to the people of Ukraine. We stand with you.
