Rust

Rust and steel
chains of iron
running floor to ceiling
Bindings for the room
of the mindful
of regrets.
They are restraints
to hold back,
hold together
hold on
for one more
sunbathed night
hiding your shadows.

Behind Speech

Actions speak louder than words
Or so goes the knowledge
common.
But what is forgotten most often
is that speech is action.
It is no longer
the contents
but the presence of speech
that may hold the importance,
as does silence.
All things are action,
even words.
Take care that your speech
behind speech
speaks what it must,
for that
is the speech heard loudest.
