No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

1
The stones are quiet 
Gently remembering what
Was
The heat from the day’s sun
Still lingers on lichens 
And moss 

2
The trees sway, reaching their branches
Toward the moon 
She reminds me of you 

3
Patrolling the perimeter 
Another interloper makes an 
Unscheduled appearance 
Scurrying through tunnels of light 

4 
It is too quiet
And yet, not quite enough 
For brains like ours
With scars like ours
But here we find 
Calm 

5
Rays glinting on the edges
Unknowable forces acting upon
Everything 
Anything
All at once
