Berate not these budding things, That do not have eyes to see or ears to hear your nonsensical notions. Remember that small minds speak loudest in fear, And that wisdom comes to those who lay at the foot of the mount and listen. Our world is calling to us, Can you hear her familiar thrums? … More Learning from Without
Write. Drag pen across paper, Decisively mark a first step, Onto an empty road. Breathe in a moment, Feel what is, And do what comes naturally. Write. As the world sighs beyond that open window. Write. As line of flame dancing up a dry twig’s back. Write. As moths flutter above your flickering light of … More Write From Within
Where came this Frost, Upon the weakened bows of life? Down to the roots does sleep crawl, Filling eve dark spaces with seeming death. Draw close to me dear one, That we may fall asleep together. Wrapped in each other’s arms as all turns cold, May we pray for the coming dawn of spring. -M.E. … More This Frost
Gently ease this body down, And rest so weary each bone. Wrap skin bare with life’s gray hair, And veil these clouded eyes. For I am worn upon life’s shore, And voices call from beyond the sea. My soul sings melody low, And pleads with this world to leave. Across the stars did we all … More Weary Chalice

Let this earth vibrate with a deepening power, Shaking the very foundation holding slothful powers on high. Let this Spring of ignorance never reach the fruition of Summer, Minds bent on selfish reasoning degrade in the harsh reality of Winter. Let ice and cold howl in from the North, Covering all these decedent places in … More Winter Deepens
Crunching bodily underfoot, I flew between silent sobs. It is coming for me, A shadow in this deepening hour. Between the blazing rays of a dying sun, I hide myself fearing what lurks in the shadows of this night. Rustlings of fate whisper through bare limbs, If only I could fall down, down, down, To … More Sinister Countdown- Leaves’ Witness
“This isn’t happening,” Sam said in disbelief, “it’s impossible!” “Shut up, Sam- someone shut him up.” Andrew his as he turned to look back down the path. “Did you see it too?” said the third member of their party as the four men crouched in the underbrush. Chris brushed his long brown hair out of … More Sinister Countdown- A Moot
