Wise words he gravely said,
“Now, remember my son,
don’t get close to the sun
because you’ll get fried.”

Wise words he gravely said,

small but beautiful
gems escape our sight

retreat inside for hidden security
and cling to the fine things outside

when you come to the end of the lupine,
try to fly.
Don’t crawl back down to the ground.

Lost, we seek a map
to our existence;
meaning to our meaningless lives
fragile wings
battered in life’s transience
buffeted by stormy winds.

summer fades
in colors trodden brown
only a few bright colors remain

today is like no other
because it is
a golden fritillary day
rose red, rose red
whom shall I wed?
rose red, rose red
from thorns I bled.
rose red, rose red
alone on my deathbed.

time hangs heavy on us
weighed down by hardships
and frustration
with efforts in suspension
buffeted by time.

cling
to the stalk of life
even with half a wing
