Trapped in a cage, though the bars unseen, A world of motion, a life serene. They see the stillness, a peaceful guise, But the storm within my own two eyes. A symphony of aches, a constant drone, A fire that burns where flesh and bone Should move with...

INSIDE
The words, like startled birds, take flight,But veer and scatter in the air.The meaning I intend to writeIs lost before it can land there. A clumsy tongue, a tripping mind,A heart that beats a hurried pace.The perfect phrase I cannot find,A smile that settles on my faceFeels forced,...

The Dead Tree

World Of Motion
In a world of motion, I find my stillness,A captive soul in a body unyielding.Muscles that fired now forever stalled,Dreams once vibrant, patiently enthralled. Each breath a battle, a fight for control,The simplest tasks a story to be told.A symphony of care, a chorus of need,Independence a whisper,...
