Fatigue

Just like yesterday
Today ends with fatigue.
For hustle has consumed
The last remnants of rest
And what it once meant
To pause and reflect!

Promise

Book cover for Moses Wolcott Redding. Standard Ahiman Rezon and Blue Lodge Guide.

In the midnight blue expanse
The rotund Moon hangs –
A bauble precious,
The stars are not far behind –
All trinkets, glamorous;
They say its luminescence
Can bring about madness
But all I gather is succor
In its gentle iridescence;
There is a calmness
A promise in its presence
To conquer the Darkness
And it’s forever mounting hubris.
