Analysis of Thinkful Wishing
“Age but a number”
if only that were true
Yesterday reborn again
— memories renewed
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
Moments Beyond Time
In search of fresh meat
the future will come
Hour predestined
the hunt zero sum
As seconds approach
impending attack
Free every moment
—time dead in its tracks
(The New Room: February, 2024)
Why isn’t God
transcending
my doubt
Each day more distant
the louder
I shout
Why can’t the Lord
acknowledge
my pain
The light
growing dimmer
— the more I proclaim
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
