My Fight

The battles rage on
And my fight has become long;
Defeat can not be.

Strength and Guidance

The sun strengthens me
And falling I recognize
Guidance of the moon.

Grapes to Wine

Grapes fall from the vine
with my tears into water
blending into wine.

If I Can Be Heard - A Haiku

Desperate, broken
I cry for help wondering
If I can be heard.

Darkness to Light

Roses have faded
and I wait in the dark for
darkness to be light.

A Touch

Darkness consumes me
in the night
sleep
running away from me.
I struggle for peace
but the nightmares
tear at me
bouncing around in my head
ripping me
defining me.
before the scream
can build in my throat
I feel a soft touch
on my face
in the night,
a touch
that calms me.
I lay still
as the touch
comes again,
the nightmare
releases me
and I open
my eyes
to see your face.

Sometimes

Sometimes
the darkness
seems to last forever,
the light
never showing
never breaking
never there to be.

Sometimes
the prayers
seem to be lost,
never being heard
never answered
never spoken.

Sometimes
I do know
to kneel down
to pray,
never asking twice
never doubting
never questioning his presence.

Sometimes
the world
does stop spinning,
the light
never quivering
never leaving
never betraying.

Sometimes
the darkness
doesn't seem to last forever
the light
always shinning
always lifting
always there.
