A candle flickers
in the wind of life
inextinguishable,
except by time.

-CWP-

Crying in the eye of enigma———
Punished by
pervasive neglect!

-CWP-


Is the light the cause of the shadow
Or
the result?
Or does darkness cloud my mind
And
Dog my steps?

-CWP-

Can one gain insight
on a trip
in the dark
.. of the moon?
