Sometimes
The light is so bright
It blinds me
The light is so bright
It blinds me
And then
I am able to
Truly see

Beacons
Some beacons keep me safe
They guide me
Through the narrow channels
They help me avoid
Life’s rocky shoals
They guide me
Through the narrow channels
They help me avoid
Life’s rocky shoals
Some beacons inspire me
To explore
The untravelled roadways
They help me overcome
Life numbing caution
Sunshine Sunrise II
There is something about a sunset
A mood…
It’s a closing, a wind-down
It’s the deep breath at the end of a task
A mood…
It’s a closing, a wind-down
It’s the deep breath at the end of a task
But a sunrise…
Awakenings, beginnings
Arisen possibilities
A sunrise is anticipation
Just one tear-stained cheek
Afterall
It is just one tear-stained cheek
Black mascara running over a swollen lip
And onto the bruise, angry and throbbing
Like his face, when he hit me
It is just one tear-stained cheek
Black mascara running over a swollen lip
And onto the bruise, angry and throbbing
Like his face, when he hit me
And why should it be different
When I can’t love him enough
Can’t give him enough
Can only think of my wants
Of my needs
Awakening in the Dream Factory
The sun burns
Bright and hot
Washing out the sky
In the alley
Where people die
And the Dream Factory makes
Stories that don’t really matter
Stories that deflect and desensitize
Bright and hot
Washing out the sky
In the alley
Where people die
And the Dream Factory makes
Stories that don’t really matter
Stories that deflect and desensitize
Anticipation
Fiery leaves
Have hardly touched the ground
And I anticipate
The mountain snows
The steep slopes
And deep powder
Which transport me
To a peaceful bliss
Have hardly touched the ground
And I anticipate
The mountain snows
The steep slopes
And deep powder
Which transport me
To a peaceful bliss
Coal Harbour
Concrete and glass
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
City of Ghosts
I came to the city
Seeking
Vibrance
Colour
Culture
Excitement
Seeking
Vibrance
Colour
Culture
Excitement
But I found instead
A monochromatic panoply
Of materialistic
Greed
Selfishness
Dishonour
Favourable Light
Even the ugliest things
Can be rendered beautiful
When looked upon
With a favourable light
Can be rendered beautiful
When looked upon
With a favourable light
The things we keep…
There are places of history
We maintain
Beyond their usefulness
Because we want to hold onto the past
We maintain
Beyond their usefulness
Because we want to hold onto the past
There are places of the past
We let go
To lie fallow and go to ground
Because we no longer need them
