Split Certainty
My pencil flitting across the page
felt far more
certain than my Self
Void
Defining void:
A space within that’s missing
a precious fragment
Night Sounds
My contemplations
bounce off the walls
into the night life sounds
Anticipation
In timings of anticipation
Weary from the wait
Waiting to be replenished
Thunder waits to break
Weary from the wait
We lie casting an eye to the sky
Thunder waits to break
Storm must surge and awake
We lie casting an eye to the sky
Waiting to be replenished
Storm must surge and awake
In timings of anticipation
