A Creature Of Obligation

A Creature Of Obligation

My soul has been many beings, unfurled;
beginning as a seed of gestation;
then I  became a baby in earth’s world;
and a child of society’s probation.

In my youth, I was to learn many things;
becoming a being of opportunity;
challenging thoughts of

No House Is A Home

No House Is A Home

A house that was home; became the past;
I never thought that it’d come to be;
I thought that home was meant to last;
for it had become a part of me.

A place where I scattered toys and clothes;
at a time when

Pilgrimage Of Love

Pilgrimage Of Love

I awaken each day in a search for significance;

A Gift Of Purpose

My body and spirit seem now separated;
with my thoughts floating in air;

The Second Time Around

The Second Time Around

Most all of us seek a second chance;

temporarily, for a season, ensconced;
living, while
