Halloween

I need a break

From the horrors of life

Give me a dark night

With wandering goblins

Ghouls passing by

Blood stained children

Mutilated multitudes

Pounding at my door

Heaven In My Arms

The cosmos

Holds the all of things

The sights

That we have never seen

Massive mounds

Of spheres

And stars

Galaxies

Galore abound

We in perspective

Grains of sand

Our time on earth

Just a note

But wonders come

From great

And small

So when I hold

An infant

Sweet

My arms enfold

All galaxies

The cosmos

Comes so tenderly

Heaven in my arms

Nighttime Dreams

Dreams are a swirl

Of heaven

And earth

Of hopes

And fears

Deep heart desires

And incidental sights

They rule our journey

Of the night

Sometimes they reappear

In the light

But shadowy

They must be

A message

We should heed

Or bedtime food

We should not eat

On This Earthly Walk

If I smoked

I would have a cigarette in my mouth

Now

Shaking my head

And muttering

Bleak

Disillusioned

Jaded

Detached

And

Staring  

At

A

Great Abyss

Then

It

Passes

Like a vapor

I am thankful

I have hope

And believe

There is meaning

To be found

On this earthly walk
