Remembrance.
As it is, not
as we wish it to be.
You have days
to think back on,
and you do…
05/25/2023 j.g.l.
always with the questions
Is what you do enough?
For who?
For you?
Self-doubt?
Self-love?
Self-centered?
Is it selfish to think mainly
of what I need to do for me,
myself, and I?
Why?
When will I find resolve to
my never-ending queries?
Will it be enough?
Do you still doubt?
Do you struggle with answers,
as much as the questions?
Can you decide?
Are you trying?
Is that enough?

cloud songs
Library of memories;
pages and paragraphs full of history
and biography, essay or adventure.
Which story should I tell?
Is it one you would well know or
a tale I still have no ending for?
05/16/2023 j.g.l.
I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Scant silken stream
dividing line
between reality
and sensuality
softly
floating upwards
filling space
between the ribs
inhale
sandalwood
lavender or patchouli
jasmine
at night
ease the mind
wipe away
remains of the day
you can’t stop
time
but you can
make it
bearable
scent
the swiftest route
to memory
or comfort
as you retreat
from
negative forces
the essence of the moment
returns
a gentle
equilibrium
meditation
moments
for the self
marginalize
negative influences
neutralize
behaviours and patterns
creating
an environment
of hope
and awareness
strengthen the senses
soften
your world
