A Bedraggled Soul

A Bedraggled Soul

I feel like I fell down a flight of stair;
aching from my head to my feet;
thoughts remain, back at the top; unaware;
where destiny and circumstance meet.

I feel I’ve been hit by a truck or a train;
my body; a bedraggled pile of

The Wind In My Face

The Wind In My Face

We are but leaves; grown on life’s tree;
given a mind of our own;
we each are unique; you are you; and I, me;
life’s tree; our heavenly home.

But, this world has been turned inside-out;
shaking all the leaves off life’s

Fine Print

Fine Print

The devil was first to employ fine print;
for those lies; man was banished;
leaving man; for generations; to lament;

forever, staining my past;
so much, in my life, that I
