spirit

a gaunt man once said
best a full mind than stomach.
his growls belied him.

like a dripping tap
time hands out money like scrooge
to a thirsty man.

the night is quiet.
the crickets listen for song.
dark the melody.

the world has a place.
a waiting room where men wait.
where dreams expire.

faith of the brave heart
is what makes life bearable.
wabi sabi lives.

in the gaps of time
atoms hover in wide space.
cramped open spaces.
