Cold eyes, glassy and staring,
Slide slowly across,
Like a security camera,
Emotionless and remote.
They stop with chilling abruptness
Like a gasp, never heard,
A beam that freezes you in place.
The frayed lace stirs slowly
As the head follows.
Target acquired.

Frustrations
Getting put off
Again and again, treated
Like a spoiled, needy child
Or a whiny idiot to avoid
Revealing their own lack of
Education and work ethic
The Disconnect Reconnect
A single voice
Inside my mind –
No leaping images,
Vying for time –
Fecund thoughts
In silence, sublime
And eyes more enlightened
Than blind.
Resolutions
Designed with care and
Erected to last:
Strong steel and a
Concrete core.
Impenetrable,
Impermeable –
Unyielding.
An overnight change,
An instant corrosion:
Gossamer glass and a
Fractured foundation.
Fragile,
Flimsy –
Shattered.
Scattered dust
Litters the ground,
Joining the rest:
Fertile ground
For building
The Cost of Kindness
Spending just a moment
To think beyond yourself
Reaching past pride to
Grasp generosity
Forcing through anger to
Seek selflessness
Rejecting judgement to
Forgive
Releasing the past
To live
