Endless Summer Mentality
In my mind’s prison cell delusions fill its space.
I struggle to sleep at night, contending with the
facade of my existence.
Peace is sparse and I am unable to flee
the fires of the summer, a burning hell
among fears I face.
I want to free myself of my responsibilities,
to ride along Idaho’s riverbanks, letting winds
flow against my body.
Promises I give myself, academia at my feet, success bleeding
from words are weak branches of my being as I pass
through these lengthened seasons, these snapshots of time.
Shadows of Light
Understanding and its long, dusty road,
meanings, forgotten stones under the sun.
Why has this path led me here?
Summer leaves guide me
to visions crowded with limbs, colorful landscapes
broken in odes of time.
I lie beneath the shadows of trees
revolving with tension, yet drift downward
to comprehend these peaceful inner waves.
