to the traveler
A Tautogram
to the traveler:
thy trail
(though treacherous)
takes thee to triumph.
--
to the traveler:
traversing troubles
tasting tenderness,
trekking tandemless —
tell thy truth.
--
to the traveler:
trudging tireless
till tenacious,
timid,
tremulous,
tears trailing,
thoughts thrilling,
track the towering-top terminus.
--
to the traveler:
torn though trying,
(truth transcending)
tending,
thriving.
then, thereafter,
testifying,
to
treasure,
trust
thyself.

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.
