As He Turns His Eye To Me

 His clothes, 

white as snow 

on mountaintops. 


The highest summit,

I could not reach. 


Speak to no one of

what you've seen.


Trapped by the generation

of wayward thinking.


From above comes a voice of reason,

"I have chosen you."


Found all alone, covered in fog.


A sullen spirit descends

into the multitudes

despite his disposition.


It's my voice you hear,

begging your help.


I cry out,

"How do I contend with

the plagues of my mind?"


"Overcome."

He says.

The World Is Not Ending

 Never look behind you,

where the past reminds you

-there is no change.


A dangerous thought to dwell in,

depression's attempt at reason

with backward thinking.


Life's lessons and little games to play,

catch us in a loop

where time no longer moves. 


Faith is the freedom,

the choice to move,

to leave those little games behind.
