When the Pen runs dry

when the pen runs dry and the call to Muse is canceled by indifference the return is slow
each word squeezed of juicethe only way to grasp the magic is to toll in the stony fields among the rustic ruins of struggle hoping the voice returnsand fingers fly to keep pace

Baby Steps


A foal is born, awash in dampness
Kissed by the miracle of life
Rises up shakily; unknowing, unsure
One step, then two, moving forward
Stumbling back
Toward nothingness
And then, suddenly, sees the light
Ahead and knows, instinctively knows
That there, right there
Is freedom, wholeness, healing—
And getting there might be slow
But get there she will
With baby steps
