Whose words hang on the edge of a precipice, Admiring the waters below, From the safety of their homes Whose hands are tied behind their back, And whose poems are sharpened on a tongue of steel, Set to silence, By the borders tread into this very ground, And the boulders docked at every port FromContinue reading “To Young Voices Everywhere…”

At Second Glance…
I looked into a soul so clear, A window cleansed by many a tear, And thought I saw a portrait complete, Free from avarice or deceit I peered again after years had passed, And witnessed a broken shell of glass, Within an opaque mirror shone, Muddled away by hardened stone, An illusion crafted by theContinue reading “At Second Glance…”

The Sun’s Revolution

High above, Amidst echinate brambles, The mourning doveContinue reading “The Sun’s Revolution”
