Failure is Key to Success

There are many times I have begun again in my adult life. In careers In relationships I start what seems to be a promising new journey Only to end up frustrated and angered. I feel like a failure Not having things work a first, second, or even third time. I begin to molt like crumbling...

Same canvas, new paint

Though I have published my work on here before, I had a long span of time where nothing was posted and dust collected on past poems. I felt the itch to revisit sharing my work with others and so have begun to get back into posting my poetry.

How I perceive my muse Musa to appear. Reflective, liquid like, yet solid and full of a metallic strength with a copper radiance. Constantin Brancusi's "A Muse"

First Steps to My Path

A Poem: From the branches

Nature’s light Encaptured as stained glass The pearly moon Branches cast the light into Pieces and pieces A shattered brilliance My eyes could only wonder at Then I breathed Eyes hooked in by its silvery slices With it I left my sight And placed the image Within the recesses of my mind To where I...
