Endless Relief

all I hear are whispers in the shadows
in the corners of my mind I breathe the mystery
where the cold and saddened soldiers of eternity
call out for balance, for serenity
our world in frightening turmoil
chaos, leading falsehoods, disrespect
where, oh where, do we turn to garner favor
in the depth of our planet sink the roots
that will keep us in the balance
as we search for the Light, hope for the Light
traveling on the journey, for the answers
for the undoubted leadership to come
so we step up, off the treadmill
to find new roads, new beliefs
buying into new messengers who enlighten us so
lift us from the doom and gloom of daily grind

and open the skies to endless relief

They Portend

seeking starlight in the night
my eyes search the sky
but nothing looks familiar
where is my Orion?  hunting?
Cassiopeia is gone from sight
is Pegasus gone on the fly?
where in the heavens are your
friends who lift you into serenity?
these new stars of the summer sky
have so much less vibrance to me
I wish I may enjoy the light
but they are few and far between

what is it they portend?
