I’m writing with your pen today,
the one that filled your hand.
So many things I need to say,
so few I understand.

The spirit finds home
inside warm flesh and bone,
taking ownership,
giving direction.
Should the formula fail,
appetite will prevail,
driving action
without due reflection.

I used to have a firefly inside me,
a certain spark against the dark of night,
her wings translucent threads of hope and dreaming,
her glow as magical as soft starlight.

Secrets of the Sea

When my own tides are at low ebb,
I stand beside the sea.
Bright waves of truth I used to know
come washing over me.

Draw lightning from the sky.
Call down the rain on shifting sands.
Become the one who understands
where strength resides.
Control the tides; create your wake;
trust in your flow for its own sake.
No looking back, except to marvel
at the glory. You live the story.
