Exiting Light

Experience more than born to die
Perhaps, that is my largest lie?
Breaks down, lines streak
Underground drive
Blinding fear through tunnel vision
Exiting light at end of life

The Connoisseur: Bookstains Poetry Challenge ‘The Art of Progress’

Standing in the Way 

Dignifying Respects
Paid dues to just remain
Such maddening illusion
Norm standing in the way

*The above 4 Line poem is a response to the Bookstains Challenge called ‘The Art of Progress.’  I suggested the Norman Rockwell painting to Lynda as a challenge idea. She obliged, making it one of the options for the theme of progress.

Vista to Beholden

Vista to Beholden  

Stop watch beyond all points
Wings pan our moments
Given heart’s altitude
Vista to beholden
