• Impromptu poem

  In the lacuna between silence’s hush
  And the sighs that exhale my angst, my rush,
  I lie awake, my mind a restless sea,
  A tempest of thought, unbridled and free.
  
  The abyss of silence, vast and deep,
  Where echoes of dreams and memories sleep,
  Is pierced by the sighs that rise from my chest,
  A lament for the lost, a plea for the blessed.
  
  In this liminal space, between two worlds,
  Where the veil of reality softly unfurls,
  I find myself suspended, adrift in time,
  A witness to the sublime and the sublime.
  
  O, space between silence and sighs,
  You hold the secrets of the night skies,
  The mysteries of the cosmos and the soul,
  The tapestry of life, where all things unfold.
  
  In your embrace, I find solace and dread,
  A paradox of being, both alive and dead.
  For in this liminal space, I am reborn,
  A Phoenix rising from the ashes of dawn.

• Inkwell

  Oh, inkwell, vessel of dreams,
  Where thoughts take flight and stories gleam.
  Your depths hold secrets untold,
  Of worlds unseen and treasures bold.

  Your inky depths, a swirling sea,
  Where words are born and set free.
  A dip of pen, a stroke of grace,
  And thoughts take form on time’s embrace.

  From poet’s quill to scribe’s refrain,
  Your ink inspires and soothes the pain.
  In letters penned with love and care,
  Your essence lingers in the air.

  Oh, inkwell, witness to our time,
  Recorder of the human mind.
  Your pages hold our hopes and fears,
  Our joys and sorrows, through the years.

  So let us raise a glass to you,
  Oh, inkwell, steadfast and true.
  May your ink forever flow,
  And stories from your depths forever glow.

• A Big Red Star

  

  A Big Red Star

  There is a big red star in the sky
  It is the brightest and the largest of them all
  It is the leader and the protector of the other stars
  It is the source of light and warmth for us all

  It has been there since the beginning of time
  It has witnessed the birth and death of many worlds
  It has seen the rise and fall of many civilizations
  It has heard the songs and stories of many souls

  It will be there until the end of time
  It will outlive us and our descendants
  It will remain faithful and loyal to its duty
  It will shine with grace and beauty
