Wellspring

Our lives are like a bottomless well
From which I yield buckets of
Inspiration.
I would never utter an unkind word
For fear of poisoning the source
My only hope is that I give
As much in return
Or at least not run it dry
For if I did
I would humbly say
Goodbye.

“… here is one day from his life, a day in every respect like all his other days, and from it let the reader form his own opinion as to his character and the way in which his life corresponded with the beauty of his environment.”
– Nikolai Gogol, Dead Souls.

Take Heart
Some stories better left untold
Others build us prison walls
but when uttered they dissolve
unchained altar call
Like a caged bird flapping
fighting endlessly
Decides to sing its heart song
then gentle hands set free.
