Dawn

Cresting on the horizon
The beautiful orange, red and gold
The world breaks into view
Light imbues all it touches
Waking the world, making it feel bold

Brighter now and harsher
The light remove the dark dank spaces
There is no place to hide
The wide and luminous blaze
Has cleared the shadows from faces

Plea Bargain

Plea Bargain

Call me back to a brighter day

When time was a number not a sentence

Flowers still bloomed under a blistering sun

Children ran carefree through the streets

What happened to happier times?

To heartier laughter and friends?

Hedonistic summers wasted

Lounging in the twilight

Soft notes lost on the breeze

As we sat strumming guitars in the sunset

Can you remember those long gone hours?

If I close my eyes I can taste the charcoal

I am there with you

That’s all that matters
