A crimson sky bleeds through the veins of night,
the tree stands bare, its fury burned to bone.
Ash drifts where tempests once took flight,
roots clutch the earth like hands that atone.
Once fire, now silence forged in flame,
its anger buried, yet it whispers its name;
Renewal.

Self Defense
Shattered, dismayed, confused,
I shared the ground with you.
Bright red spilled far beyond my reach,
you blamed me for making you do this.
I passionately narrate my thoughts,
but you ignore them, as you always do,
as if the words I speak are but trifles,
so you make me do this to you.
Shattered, dismayed, confused,

Understanding Empathy
Destitute humans
Wishing they were free from all
Warmth from connection
Dr. Tranquil
It is often in tough times that our main aspect of humanity brings us all together: Connection.
Never forget, you are never alone.

Empty Grief
Empty bench watching the silent blue,
Lake mirrors losses I cannot tell;
Pines stand witness where absence grew,
Grief ripples outward; endless, gentle swell.

There is often beauty is the sadness of life.

Echo of the Wild Rose
Beneath the thorn’s silent vigil I stand,
cradling this crimson remnant of bloom;
a wrinkled hymn to seasons passed and endured,
teaching my heart to gather strength from loss.

True Reflection
The sky pours quiet into the sea,
A hush that keeps the whole world steady;
Light rises where silence touches the deep,
An unseen heart still holding everything ready.

The intricacy of this entry way is incredible, and whenever I see it I am reminded of the bustling market this leads to.
Located in Ottawa, Canada.
Dragon gate greets first light,
Painted eaves hum ancient song.
Step through, heart sheds its weight,
New worlds rise beyond the arch.

Neglect
The chalk sun dulls, trading its wide grin for the color of dust.
Flowers draw back into the stone, hiding their petals from touch.
A butterfly smears in mid-flutter, trapped between leaving and staying.
The ground waits, to fold every bright mark into silence.

Reflections of Embers
The day wore iron on its chest,
Each hour a wound it would not confess.
But fire still smolders through quiet snow,
Not all warmth needs to show.
The day ends.

Sometimes, our warmth is hidden, even from ourselves.

we miss the rippling currents,

Echoes of Shelter
Snow whispers stories on the splintered frame,
As if to mourn what shelter once became.
Forgotten warmth beneath the frosted eaves,
Echoes of refuge drift with falling leaves.
