Life Has Just Begun

The damage is done
But life has just begun
Breaking through the concrete
Up into the sky
Reaching for the sun
Climbing over the rocky
Wonderland
Past the coins
Gems beneath our feet
Breath of life
More powerful
Than the pentacle
Married to the moon
Bed found in the grass
Dance floor
On the desert ground
Fireflies
Light up the floor
Cocktails in foxgloves
Dew drips on your
Lips sweat the pain
Swaying with the wind
Circling the fire
Ballet on the water
The damage is done
But life has just begun
Start from the beginning
As our ancestors did
Building up
Out of the broken
Don’t stop believing
The damage is done
But life has just begun

Hammock

Suspended by cords
On a canvas
Reborn
Sketch it out
Draw the mythical
Swing

What a masterpiece
Fibers will paint
A sweet exposé
Still inertia
From bold
Into faint

Free the handle as bone
The ferrule as strength
Constructing a
Passionate muscle
To claim
The life
Of a generous
Saint

At the tips of my fingers
Nothing left here to linger
I dream under covers
In wait

The distance below me
Unknown
The space up above me
Bellows

Reach up into the howl
Every feather of fowl

Displaced
Bows of rain
Without wonder
Will squander
Both scatter about
Dissipate

Slung like a scarf
Swinging couch
Lovers tarp
Swaddled
Intimate
Cloaks
Of restraint

Chainless morning
Is dawning
Sun appears
Without warning

Bright new colors adorning

Now
Bonjour just a
Footstep away
