Calm

Marooned beneath the clouds
Finally, the rain subsides;
Embracing the sun.

———-

Riding gentle flows
Surrender to the motion
Peace over the falls

Blindsided

Tiny windows;
Thoughts distracted.

Knowledge failing;
Day’s reaction.

Devils lurking;
sunlight blinding.

Expectations.

Loose Lips

Speaking amidst the contemplation.

Vocalizing our sincerest delights
beneath the quilt of amendments.

Priceless thoughts; our true life.
Accounting for every word given.

War poisoned our ideals.

Vocabulary twisted unequivocally;
Context now compromised and demonized.

Watching every word taken.
We no longer know what to say.
