October 2019
I. Thaw
It is time to fall in love again
New leaves attempt gravity
Brutal brash winter has spoken its last
Drizzly dreary fears have melted and are put behind.
Awake sleepy bones, contracted tendons-
Reach forward waiting hands and heart learn again to dance
Learn to embrace to grand expanse.
II. Speak
Love they tell you is just a conversation away.
Death is another breath away.
And as long as you live among the living
Hold not your breath long
For in the game of truth and dare
Death is eternally unforgiving
III. Run
Death travels silent upon opaque clouds
Truth rings from the courts of justice loud
Some way how and in the end
Bitter or not
Your long ago foolishness and deceits will be forgotten as you have fooled them all.
But the certainty of death doth outdistance them all
