Pathways

Shining rays of brightness
Envelope, our arcs, of time
Paving new ways of rightness
Alighting,
Our future,
Sublime.

Capital Hill, Washington, DC – February, 2019

Chunshen Fudi

Similar somethings
Seep
Into psyche
Seeking
A kinship
Set –
To a strike.

Liberty Station

Weaving, through history
For the instants
That shatter
And scatter
Our visions
For the moments
That matter.

Bedford, VA – January 2019

The road to Face Dos

I indicate, through silence
I vindicate, through rage
By fighting, through my anger
I simplify, my cage.

Guatape, Columbia – November , 2018

Jump

Bracing –
For fear, now defined
Overcomes,
The terror
Of mind.

15,600 ft, Sussex, NJ – September, 2018

Eliminate

I imagine
A future
Of the past
Rearranged

Where the present
Is imagined
As a future
Unrestrained.

Hooked

Rewrite, your mental history
Rewire, those thoughts with pain
Rethink, the hate that binds you
The the hurt –
That bleeds your shame.

Grand Rapids, MI – July, 2018

Rage

Flashing through my anger
I step into my fire
By changing my emotions
From their apex –
Up to its spire.

Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY – June 2018

Seventy Twenty One

Reeling
From regretting
The heart –
Reflects its rage

While its race
To be forgiven
Reveals a hope –
That breaks its cage.

CancĂșn, MX – June, 2018

Metropolitan

Gliding through the ether
My thoughts remain betrayed
Beneath apparent reason
Is the treason –
In what I say.

Manhattan, NY – May 2018
