The Anger of Three Brother Gods
Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto
Who has angered the gods?
The tides ebb further and further inland,
As Neptune begins his conquest of land.
Fierce waves strike the shore,
Levelling sand dunes that were raised to protect
And dragging brush and weeds into the sea’s domain.
Who has angered the gods?
Dark storm clouds bristling with lightening
Shatter the sky’s tranquility,
Mirroring Jupiter’s grey brows
Furrowing into a deep frown across his face.
He casts down shafts of lightning without hesitation.
Who has angered the gods?
Pluto watches as the Fates cut short the lives of men.
With vicious glee he gazes down at the flood of souls
Pouring through Hell’s gates.
His helpers judge the souls of the dead
As pestilence and disasters ravage the living.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
