Poetry: Feeling lost

Of Stones

The gravedigger keeps
the time while the dead in Christ

sleep till Jesus comes.
And you and I walk arm in

arm through rows of stones
looking for someone who might

have the time to lead us away
or lead us home.

And you and I walk arm in
arm through rows of stones

when a dragonfly lands
on the marker ahead

the marker of man.
And you and I walk arm in

arm through rows of stones
despite the way is over-

grown with weeds and bones and blood.
The gravedigger sleeps

and you and I walk arm in
arm through rows of stones.

    Disjointed Harmony

    Wet fire, flaming rain,
    thoughts to drive a girl insane.
    Fragile rocks fall from the sky,
    landing with a mighty

    Lost

    Lost in a sea of faces.
    All alone in the crowd.
    No one turns an ear,
    Though I scream out loud.
    Lost alone in the darkness,
    Why
