Petrichor

Affirming the effervescence

of the unbroken earth

The esthesis transcends

all perception

The raindrops turn

the ground

into a kaleidoscope

for the senses

Frontier

A boundless arena

lit by lamplight

Shadows streaming

from the wellspring

of souls

Epic the battles

will be

Alone nevermore

as fellow travelers

tread the same path

The doorman beckons

The boatman calls

To the terminus

No desultory steps

are allowed

Episteme

Reflecting

on the damp floor

I put pen to paper

and disentangle

my memories

Glistening

on the dawn

of my reminiscences

I see

a reflection

Examining

with a keen eye

the facets

I look

within
