Construction

looking back
down the road
recently traveled; 
the road whose edges
have softened and crumbled,

will today's moments 
hold fast
if I concentrate the words,
form them, like rocks, 
into concrete sentences,

mortar the memories
into a durable structure
to contain what I feel
building in my mind,
my heart, my soul?

The Next

The heart, the soul, the mind,
are searching for
a home, a rest, a sanctuary,
while looking
down the road,
down the trail,
down the stream,
for the next
opportunity, desire, dream.

The next
time to
shine.
