Lost in Flight

An acquainted falcon

Landed on my

Peeling gate post

A timeless friend

Sharing the day's

Parting sunlight

Our eyes collide

Breathing in light's

Fading breathe

Thoughts give way
Memories pressed

Secrets shared this

Merlin of prey

Knows me well

Sheltering my mind

Against night's haunt

An unheeded wind

Carries in the dark

Sharing lost journeys

Fermenting in denial
Grounded in time

Feathered in flight

Gaming warriors

Once battling self

No longer sought

Nor preying on

Hope's promise

In growing shadows

We recognize true

The light of faith

Cannot visualize
Destiny's fate

Only changing winds

Under forgotten wings

Uplifting our longing

To yes fly once again.

Edwin James

...

Congealed

Words unspoken

Remain frozen in

Time promised to

None having

No further purpose

But to haunt

 Inflamed memories

Still brewing in

Shadow's darkness

Words no longer

Spoken nor easily

Erased held captive

Guilt's strong-arm

Choking conceding

Defeated alone

Paralyzed.
