At times, this year showed we are blessed.And other times, it left us vexed.But we have passed beyond the textAnd now move onward, to the next.Ignore the headlines dragging down,And turn misfortune upside-down.What’s done is done.  We did now drown.And now we’re next to wear the crown.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening […]

There may be things I did not do,Or did too often (yes, it’s true).But now the year begins anew,Deserving new mindsets.I suffered no unfair attack.No luxury, nor did I lack.I did my best.  Now looking back,I harbor no regrets                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Egypt | Sphinks | Arab Flute | […]

Three days until the ending of the year;Three days until the calendar’s premier.            It seems almost like yesterday            That this journey began.            Who knew twelve months ago the way            Fate would unfold its plan.Three days…  a new beginning edges near.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Astral Waves vs StereOMantra – Psybient […]

So many people end the yearWith sworn intentions made in fear,Brash oaths to which they will adhere(If for a week or two).I do not resolutions make.No pledges, vows to undertake,Or guarantees.  I just might breakA promise (or a few).                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to YULE:  Shamanic Drum Journey : Tribal Ambient […]

And now the holiday is past.I did enjoy my time awayFrom work.  In fact, I had a blastWith loved ones each and every day.But still, the last few nights were notAs restful as I would have liked.I must admit, the simple thoughtOf sleeping has me somewhat psyched.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening […]

The holiday is over (thoughThe year is not there yet).I’ve tried so hard to learn and grow,And harbor no regret.Tomorrow is another day,One last sprint to the end.Another year—another way—Is just around the bend.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Ancestral Gateway – Shamanic Rhythmic Relaxation (2022), uploaded to YouTube by Infinity […]

Today is Christmas.  What aboutTomorrow, then?  There is no doubtThat in the shadow of such cloutAs this, it can’t compete.Today is just a holidayOf such import, there is no wayTomorrow can survive the fray.It would be quite the feat.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Carbon Based Lifeforms – Calming Psychill, Psybient, […]

The evening before Christmas, suchA time.  We cannot wait.Excitedly, we sit and clutchOur pillows, staying lateInto the night.  For with the dawnWe rise again with glee,The hope of gifts to look uponBeneath the Christmas tree.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Winter Solstice : Shamanic Drum Journey : Tribal Ambient (2022), uploaded […]

An evening spent with familyMay not a source of blessings beFor all who read this poetry.But truth be told, it is for me.I know that some would disagreeWith this significant decree.I do as well, to some degreeAt many times, I guarantee.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Dark Christmas | Dark Academia […]

It’s almost here, the time of yearWhen laughter fills the air,When children see beneath the treeRiches beyond compare,And when pure love, sent from aboveTo bring all people hope,Inspires us to believe thus,And with our trials cope.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Am I Alive – Dark Synth Music to Relax and […]
