Brush…

The soft bristles brush

Through her hair one-hundred times

Her nightly ritual.

***

How easy it is

To brush aside so much pain,

When it is not yours.

***

Her face flushes red

As fingertips brush gently

Across her soft cheek.

Red is the Color…

Red is the color

That has allowed me to be

A free bird in flight.

Lead…

***

If you are in front

You have to maintain the pace

Or you’ll get trampled

***

People will follow

Anyone who is leading

Even if they’re bad

***

Drastic circumstance

Might require drastic measure.

Enter, the lead pipe.

Rise and Save…

******

To save all mankind

And set us free from ourselves

A hero must rise

***

I raise the weapon

In order to save a life

I must now take one.

*****

The stone’s rolled away,

And the third day has drawn nigh.

Rise up, O’ Saviour

Giving In…

You’re close to a bust

When you give into your lust

And wrong becomes must.

Climbing Mountains…

Fingers that grab hold

Digging into the crevice

And holding on tight.

Luck and Hope…

Luck takes away hope

Leading many to place their faith

In nothing but chance.

****

Luck is the mistress

Whose jealousy doesn’t leave

Room for lots of hope.

Opportunity…

Opportunity

Doesn’t knock because it is

An open window.

Trusting Words…

Just a bit further.

Follow me close down this path..

Would I lead you wrong?

Stars at Night…

Five points joined as one

Twinkling in the midnight sky

Thriving together.
