You ache to speak, to set things right,
To call out wrongs done in plain sight.
But silence, heavy as it seems,
Can guard your soul and guard your dreams.

He saw the lies, the twisted truth,
The wounds they hid, the stolen youth.
So hold your peace, let vengeance wait—
God writes the end, not fear or hate.

having taken the road
-sadness haunting your steps
-the unknown writhing in your skin
-a radical trust in radical love manifest.

The forgotten book—
a dusty shelf, tucked away,
had so much to say.
Writer's Digest Poetry Prompt PAD Challenge of the day, "Write a book poem." I wrote this about finding/coming back to/making time for one's own creativity. Even in small, but purposeful ways. Writing is important to me and even within the busyness of my own world, it's necessary for me to make some time, each week, to do the things I enjoy doing.

poetry & spontaneity,
are one in the same,
each piece its own,
spinning wheels on different days,
reminiscent of springtime rain.
My writing is adjacent to this. As I think it is for most poets. We're writing from an unforced flow of thinking, without OVERthinking it. Usually unplanned, and often, not always knowing the outcome or purpose until finished. Each poem is its own.  Rupi Kaur is a great example of this.

comes a time for everything
-death will reap its flesh
as sure as flesh left the womb
-the reborn spirit will have flown.

creature of dust
knows nothing

in the beauty
truth speaks

simplicity
a joyous release

in solitude
a crown of flowers.
nivek 23h
within the world
but not of the world

the tension between
flesh and spirit

oasis life
in an ocean of stars

remnants remain
in each word.
