May our minds flourish with creation, and may our hands never deny its expression.
There are always chains;
to the boulders of regret,
to the walls of doubt,
to the prison of loss.
For every thing
there is a chain –
but chain me to Christ.

Whence come tyrants, oppressors and despots,
castles, aristocracies, and upper classes?
Where of the earth comes this power
When none, more than another, knows what the thunder says?

The echoes of you
scream louder
and
lie heavier
than your presence
ever could

Lottery and tragedy
purpose to reveal
our thorough inconsistency
and incongruity —
that we would mumble
“why me?”
and “why not me?”
all at once.
One thing, though, remains constant:
“me.”
“That’s mine!”
I yell,
as the guard throws another
piece of my flesh
to the hounds.
He laughs,
as their frothy mouths
attack insatiable.
“If you would stop
wandering in here,
we wouldn’t keep doing this.
You know that you may leave
in any moment.”
I respond,
as I always do,
“I will stay a little longer.”

since the song of birds
or the chorus of winds
or the cadence of my heart
could drown out
the echoes of you.

With fire and steel
torrents and zeal –
with wind and with ice
with day and with nights –
the moon and her stars
with sighs and with scars –
with earthen quakes
and dusty snowflakes –
with budding petals
and glistening metals –
silent humming
yet strident drumming:
You Are.

Lo, but if we exchanged in commerce
with kindness as currency
and commensurate compassion,
then – and only then –
would wealth be something of honor.

The raven abandons
the broken branches
of a fallen tree.
Deep within the
sunken forest,
I recall this place
full of life.
Heavier is the burden of death
when you cannot
forget the shades of green.
