    • Not everyone follows textbook, cookie cutter poetry writing. What a boring read this site would be if that was the case...

    New Dawn

    The mystery is still here
    alive and strangely well
    finding humor in the darkest places
    alone in a sea of bobbing faces

    Bringing a smile to souls unseen
    plowing through life
    in this half awakened dream
    following a muses means

    Taking this to wherever it calls
    silently reflected down sacred halls
    streams of light caress the walls
    confessing secrets in hallowed stalls

    Light dancing on a reflective lake
    initials carved into a park bench
    only to slowly weather away
    after countless nights and days

    Reinterpreting the environment
    structures of glass,concrete and steel
    witness hairline cracks in the foundation
    needle sprays from a fountain

    Just striving to reach out
    see the world through these eyes
    going on about this round-a-bout
    towards a new dawn on the rise
