burn the candles now
they were made for flame not dust
and this gift of life
too was meant for flame
that melts us down to essence
idle we but rust
Burn the candles now

walkabout beckons
restlessness strains at the bit
to take unknown paths

wolf sleek and silver
runs rides rules the very wind
he is my new broom
Filling the white space

white space taunts my pen
my épée etching each word
slowly on the page
words marching cadence
along pale blue journal lines
and then there was light

dogma once believed
shed along childhood’s roadside
solitary hence

laughter speeds the heart
deepens the breath releases
endorphins burns fat
get a daily dose
so read funny watch funny
damn it all just laugh

my hand hold the stone
I chant the invocations
my transport to dreams
The mall

from the very air
seductive scents surround me
sights and sounds assault
mothers scold children’s
high pitched squeals excited for
christmas coming

frontiers disappear
we’re slowly killing nature
one tree at a time

flew with the eagles
high above earth’s azure skies
my mighty wings pushed
on unseen currents
soar unfettered and free too
soon return to me
