When everything requires a thought, It’s a challenge from the start. Confusion brews out of sight, I search for clarity with all my might, Wishing once again to hold you tight. As days sink into nights, What once was joy now evokes fright. The sky turns black, The eagle’s wings cease to flap. My eyes …

Tracing the Echoes of Time
Frozen in the totality of the moment; Immersed in the memories that trace back to the beginning. Pieces of life dance upon me before taking flight. Those fragments dissolve into the forgotten known of night. I'm the one staring out the window, Seeking to decipher the code in the leaves' flow, As they gracefully sway …
Journeying in Search of More
My hands may always want to grasp, but someday they will collapse inward on themselves. From cradle to grave, we exist between these two modes that we romanticize into eventual somedays, in which we will finally find rest and stay, or at least that is what we pray. What a feat it is to hold …
