You can dance without music
It doesnโ€™t matter
Day or night
Close your eyes
Listen
To your
Imagination
It sings
#Distant_melodies
If you take the time
You can dance
You fly
Anywhere
Sunk in those eyes brown black
Grey or #blue

The dripping rain cries-
From clouds no longer shy
Until finally we must ask
Why?

The street is a river
That flows to the Piper,
And his mystic music
Musings ringing in heads thick.

Blade meets the kernel,
Dividing the "yes" from "no,"
The binary, breaks.

Stay strong and remember
Even in the coldest months
Flowers find strength to grow
Hold on for another second
And another minute
And another day
Please stay
With me.

Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the Summer and cold in the Winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - "god damn it, you've got to be kind."

"Dahlia Tranquility. Very attractive clear white petals with a white inner collar". The orange of the bloom's centre is bristling with life.  This solitary beauty is surrounded by the greenery of the garden. In the background is a white statue depicting St. Joseph cradling the Baby Jesus.  

The day was overcast with a light misting of rain descending on us all.  It felt precious, this bit of grace.  

I still come down to Mercy Hospice, and each time, find a simple bit of loveliness, peace, and compassion.  

...and can't we all just use a little more of that in this life?

empty vessel
echoes of once
chaotic good
and bad avatars hung
manifestations scratching
at the doors untouched
reality is broken in two

Sun shining behind fluffy clouds.

Sun shining behind fluffy clouds.

"We hold onto threads that aren't visible to anyone else. A bond, an anchor, a wind to blow out the dust, givers make merry. Walking together under a bright sun to bloom beneath. Tracing galaxies with our fingertips over flesh seeped in desire that decides not to leave. Choosing to stay, to know."

Resist. At every opportunity, resist.

But also build.

Block what harms.
Construct what replaces it.

Resistance slows decline.
Building shapes what comes next.

Do both.

No circling-back

Never a touch;
long-handed
#revulsion at the
taste you leftโ€”
now lingers.
Abandonment
without ceremony.
Loneliness settles
heavy in the chest.
It peels our surface
back slowlyโ€”
exposes the core
to open wounds.

The effects took years to
Show in tears dried in
Empty sockets and a
Hollow skull, lies found
Pockets to hide in eyes
Shifting, drifting in the
Slightest wind, beginning
To lose control of a
Soul checked with marks
On a list, the years took
What they missed, one
Final hope, and one
Broken promise
