I thought we were at home
...

My path is just as straight
My sight, just as clear
There nothing to stand between
The end I see from here

Sipping Secrets

He is a decade long struggle with weakness
A chink in the armor, a stain on my soul
...

Drip, drip, dripping
Like rain off the rusty barn roof

Alight my windowpane
No more than time to chase the clouds
Or stop the winter’s rain
...

Locked away and rarely fed
A cardinal bright in beauty red
Sings in spite the rusted cage
Woven round by fire and rage
...
