WHISPERING WIND

What be divided
among those
with nought
to divide

What bones
be broken
by those
with no spine

What whispers
in the wind
among those
with no voice

What path
lies ahead
for those
with no choice

Muted colours flickering

among Shadows

Mist and mostly

twilight fills the

Path of Righteousness

without knowing

if it is me walking

or the Silence

talking

BLEEDING FEET

Chasing dreams

like dancing leaves

in autumn breeze

always in pursuit

never catching

falling short

left empty handed

with bleeding feet

salad, I will survive this night.

The munchies though
calls for more,
slices of pizza here I go

Cheesecake, treat-cake
orange and vodka, Fridayโ€™s
ending on a high
