Under

So where is under anyway?I find myself unwell today,And wondering how long I’ll stayWithin this strange locale.I’m sure that I’m just passing throughThis under place.  What’s there to do?I’ll simply give myself a fewDays to improve morale.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Lyrical Fantasy Music for Inspiration, uploaded to YouTube in […]

Decision

I made a big decision, andI hope that it is right.It’s just that things are out of hand,And I don’t want to fight.I simply want to be at peace,With pleasure in my heart.Instead, I pray now for increaseIn strength to do my part.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Woodland Guardians 🌿 […]

Silence

In silence do we find a chanceTo think about the endless danceWe took part in throughout the day.No voices telling what to sayOr what to do, without a careFor how they land, nor when or where.In silence do we find our peace,And blessings in our own decrease.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening […]

Galena

My sweet Galena, cold and gray,Your leaden tongue has naught to say.Yet as you aim your glance my way,Your favor I implore.A touch of silver in your hair—Argentiferous, to be fair—Quite lovely, as I do declareYou are my favorite ore.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to SAMA | Deep Arabic Meditation Music, […]

Again

Let’s do the whole thing once again.I think I can remember whenThe circle was instead a line,And we followed our own design.Today we chase our tails instead,And run around until we’re dead.We say that things will change this time,As yet again, we start to climb.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to KILABO […]

The Longest Day

The longest day…  not long enoughTo do what I must.  It is toughWhen facing tasks and trials, roughUpon the skin and soul.I have no doubt I can succeed,So long as wise counsel I heed(As peace and effort both I needTo live my proper role).                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while not actually listening to […]

Of Value

There are so many things of worth,So many items on this earthTo bring us joy or peace or mirth,Of value to this world.But people, too, may be a boon,Yet need a moment to attune.So don’t be too quick to repugnThe recently unfurled.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to STARDUST | Calm Ambient […]

Creatures of the Deep

There are so many creatures of the deepTo fear, so many monsters’ care to keep.            Some whimsical, benevolent,            Confusing or perverse,            Some horrifying or hell-sent,            A blessing bent by curse.Sometimes, the price of fortune can be steep.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Still Life, composed by Haruka Nakamura in 2020 and […]
