Light Hidden Within — Part Two
Light Hidden Within ~~~~~ Part Two I plead with you, us and everyone. We spurn strangers, each we hate. Those we fear, as we were taught. Learn now, all humankind worthy, Our value is innate, not only profit For those who have no compassion, Dictating to us because we let them. We must not allow […]
Light Hidden Within
Light Hidden Within ~~~~~ Part One Looking for words that will tell A story: who we were and who We became, after long illness. The first part I know, as do you, At least this moment, as I write These words, chasing meaning, So we all choose cogent change. I hope we hear the sane […]
Am I?
Am I? ~~~~~ Does everyone feel the need to create Or only to impose order on the chaos? Is a search for a higher purpose innate, A way to handle death, since we must? All creators, I think, have some doubts. For any who believe, did god feel this? Omniempathetic, god must have bouts. […]
Of Course
Of Course ~~~~~ Why, of course, it’ll cost a lot. It cannot be any good, if not. Do you really believe this true, Just a bill of goods sold to you? Would you matter either way? Would it matter any given day? It cannot matter that I can see; You know, never comes for free. […]
Cannot Imagine
Cannot Imagine ~~~~~ Have you this modern truth brought home, Your devices, machines, smarter than you? With all their various prompts and screens, Your car and phone communicate, so new. New to me; I’m old, adult before this time. My first job, each file kept on paper alone, Eight jobs in, till a mainframe I […]
Life in the Time of Pandemic ~ 2020
Life in the Time of Pandemic ~ 2020 ~~~~~ Life is trying to stretch us thin, our circumstances extenuated; we must not pretend. Lies, treasons, tries, reasons, bring denials, excuses, accusations, misdirections, blame. Death and life, fraught emotions, fear, sorrow, danger from friends, family, strangers. Lack of support, no recourse, leads to requested sequester, masks […]

Point, Counterpoint
Point, Counterpoint ~~~~~ Patterns, all is patterns The world over We struggle to comprehend Seeing faces In the rug Monsters, creatures, demons In chipped paint Puddles on the street Yet, we deny Or try Abnegate such apparitions As fancy only Too frightened To believe It might be another Reality Until art Intrudes in all forms […]
What Time? What Hope?
What Time? What Hope? ~~~~~ Being greedy In small steps. Grabbing what, What you want, As though It’s yours, By right Or rite. Casting bones, Waving feathers, Odds and ends Imbued with power. At midnight, Any hour Darkness hides Our fright, Our trepidation, Nervous laughter. Hoping, hoping, Longing to know The secret, Wrest the prize, […]
Can You Dig It?
Can You Dig It? ~~~~~ So, have I come to writing lists Of things I want and need to do? Deleting them one by one, or this And that added to tomorrow too. Have I gotten done what I hoped; My tasks, merely marking time, It’s my best to say I matter most. As if […]
