The Writer's Wish

Come, words.

Pour down like rain in the night,
with or without the thunder.

Sit on my shoulder like the wren on the fence.
Sing to me; sing through me.

Rise dependably, like sun behind clouds.
Glow with promise and purpose.

Follow me down the pine-scented forest path.
Follow me, or perhaps lead me. Better yet, walk with me.

Perpetual Impasse

Perpetual Impasse


Outstretched arms reach,
hail,
implore,
shrug.

Open hands caress
tenderly,
fleetingly, 
forgivingly.

Blank face stares.
Unresponsive,
emotionless,
frozen.
