Again
~~~~~ Again, I ask you to sing me my song. I do not know the tune or the words. Unclear where notes or rests belong. Even to me this sounds quite absurd. Still, I know, if I once hear this tune, I’ll believe I have always known it. Self-symphony, under sun or moon, this harmony, […]
My Friend
~~~~~ Begin at the beginning, just before. Do you know where that might be? Bring light into all the dark places; opening your heart, light the world. Moonlight, starlight, both the same. Inhale deeply, feed lungs and brain? The beginning of everything always begins at the end. I urge you to open wide your wings, […]
Secret Heart
~~~~~ Where do you think you will find your secret heart, A heart that speaks to the secret heart of the world? What pushes us away from the center, keeps us apart? What fear, hatred bigots us, around our heart curled? Are we somehow kept too busy to even take one look, to find that […]
Until Life Runs Out
~~~~~ Our world drowns in ignorance. No one knows. Our world smothers under ennui, apathy. No one cares. We inhabit tiny cages, think we’ve got it good, or not. We run, race, within our wheels, believe we are getting somewhere. We smoke weed, drink, pop pills, preen and pretend. We don’t see any of this, […]
Transformations
~~~~~ Let the world inhabit you, move you in strange, exotic directions. Imagine a new land where north, south, east, west are meaningless, arbitrary. Find there no time, but change ever present and everlasting. Expressions of limited duration. Only process, constant, no past, no future, a surprise waiting around every moment, even if we find […]
So They Post
~~~~~ Everything you are about to hear or read is true. Whether these stories are about me or about you. How should we tell these stories so they are real not some mountebank’s wild and fanciful spiel? I believe that we must trust ourselves, our gut. I think most folk are happy where they are, […]
Fullness of Time
~~~~~ The moon sports a Cheshire grin tonight, hiding its face behindaa sly smiling light. It will be revealed in the fullness of time, when over the brow of the hill it’ll climb, Many tell us, though it varies, it’s the same, playing hide and seek with the sun, a game. Mirroring light from the […]
Don’t You Know
~~~~~ All our symbols of success and failure are much more than they might appear. Still, they may not be what you think, paper, metal bits, a conspirator’s wink. If you are rich, you believe I am wrong. all your wants, needs met, a happy song. If you’re poor, you’re certain I am right, chance […]
Because
~~~~~ Once more into the breech, believing that everything is within my reach. I can laugh, dance and sing. It will all be rooster’s crow, saying that I am here. While I am sure you know, I wanted to be perfectly clear. A song I know has a line, how we all feel a little […]
Who, Me?
~~~~~ Who are the people who weather life undaunted, who face a multitude of trials, choices, we all do, who time in life leave battered, bruised, haunted, who rise again, see their vision, follow through? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let […]
