It
has been too long since I’ve had an update for the blog. I plan to start doing
regular updates again, as I work to add more content to the site. I’d like to
start reviewing books as I read them, and perhaps sharing news stories
regarding writing when they move me to do so.
In
the meantime, here is something I have been working on recently. Enjoy!
Flower
Through
sooty, smoke-filled room
Past
dingy, cold formed glass
A
bright speck makes its mark
As
its brief time here does pass
Can
any say for sure
Why
wisdom chose this place?
Was
its presence in this gloom
Benefit
for my beholding face?
This
moment spent between us
Juxtapositional
beauty, take in
And
wonder if there be meaning
Through
miasma of caked sin
Frail
resilience, ruthless progression
Bright
and vibrant, cold and gray
Can
such beauty truly last here
Or
is it destined to fade away?
