Nothing is clear –Like rain dropsThat fall into the oceanAnd disappear,So are these wisps. Are they mere thoughts?Perhaps Imaginings?Or are they real?More importantly,What do they mean? Why have they chosenTo haunt, not just the mind,But also the body? As much … Continue reading

Soul stories

The soul that stoodAt the precipiceOf the other world,Before stepping intoThe earthly realm,Wondered what it held,As possibility. The soul has stayedFor far too long,And the possibilities,Never too many to begin with,Have dwindled down to virtually none. This tiptoeing through life,Seeps … Continue reading
