The Wolds We Visit

When we sleep
we drift up,
rising to 
a land of promise 
and opportunity.
A place where
we can dream,
and be ourselves.
We rencounter
the day,
and the day before,
going over it a hundred times
until it's branded in our minds.
We reveal our 
hopes and promises 
stretching them out into
a foggy recollection.
We sing 
to ourselves
of a land of tomorrow.

  • Tempest Tossed

    The skies are clear and the sun is out,
    the oars splash, and waves dance in unison.
    Layers come off.
    Layers go back on.
    What used to be a breeze,
    is now gusts pushing waves
    so they crash against the hull
  • People and politics

    It tears people apart.
    It brings people together.
    It creates a whirlpool of 
    debating, pointing fingers, and strategy.

    Politics has brought divisions among us
    and identity in an ever-changing world.
