  • Poetry in the Sight of a Mirror – 05

    Do not walk circles in tomorrow’s maze.

    Some don’t see it,
    “A stright slope … “,
    tired travelers would say
    “straght to hell,
    or maybe heaven.”

    Caverous walls resound their proclaim
    On it meanders, along the uncertain.
    Half lit. Half dark.

    You fret (as humans do).
    Is there reason not to?

    Do not let tomorrow’s teeth
    gnaw today’s bread.
    Do not let its distant glare
    blind the path beneath your tread.

    Breathe, my dear.

    Know grief, but do not kneel to its ghost.
    Hold joy, but do not clutch its fading ember.

    Let life sway—unmet, unnamed.
    Walk now.
    Breathe.

    Begin.

  • Poetry in the Sight of a Mirror (01 – 03)

    A new series to complement RRFP as my ongoing writing exercise and eventual collection.

    And — of course — both my physics and literature journeys have involved mirrors.
