Falling Behind

~~~~~ It makes me want to return to a time, years ago, before PC’s and smart phones. After every computer in the house, but one has crashed, died, given up the ghost, what should I do now? Install new technology: television and internet upgrades, we hope. As age advances, with aches and pains, these challenges […]

Begin, Become, Begone

~~~~~ Speaking now of old friends or of lovers from long ago. Where the closest may be lost or somehow replaced by others along the way. Yet, life continues along, with us or without us. Do you believe, perchance, when you are finally gone the universe vanishes. This, despite evidence to the contrary, science, perhaps, […]

Not As Ourselves

Sun in the Water ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ What rituals do we retain from ancient times?Primordial, primitive, leaving faint trace, no memory.When each morning the sun rising was pure magic,The setting sun called forth darkness, a time of fear. We have misplaced the magic, retained our night terror.Magic not lost entirely, yet glimpsed now […]

Plain or Fancy Inside

Reversal of Fortune ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Some things and some people are quite plain on the outside. Still, might hide glory within. Or, a plain face may hide evil. Some things and some people shine like glass in the sunlight. Still, flash may cover the faux. What waits within, time knows. ~~~~~ People […]

Haven’t Fallen Down, Yet

Focus Group ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ So many bits and pieces, words and phrases splattered on pages like stars scatter the night. As we create constellations in our search for connection where none may exist, but why? Searching for understanding, myself and life; Am I scrying far-too-far from me, myself and I, for the […]

The Same Truth

As we created constellations in our search for connections, where none may exist, but why? Delving to gain understanding; myself and life. Am I scrying too-far from me, myself and […]

Echoes, choes, oes, oes, oes

Crystal View Persuasion ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Echoes come from far away,another time and place.Even if we live there,it’s lost in the deeps of space.I have heard it said,the beginning of wisdom arriveswhen we know what we don’t know. What if we have heard this wrong?What we know is somethingwhich we must strive to […]

In Our Youth

Light in Darkness ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ We each bring our truest selves when we start, yet, we’re told we learn what we’ve forgotten. Driving so rapidly past our days and scenery, we grab a snapshot of whatever we can hold. Doing so, we must lose the whole, the essence of our experience, what […]

Choice is Yours

~~~~~ ~~~~~ In this wOrld of ours gusts of winds         may drive us hither,              t h I t h e r,                   a n d   y  o  n. Fell us with a mighty blow ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Ⅎ. Do you engage the rattle, battle or do you choose to lay low? ~~~~~ VOTE! People […]

Which Way to Fall

~~~~~ Come then, let us dance and sing to the swift strumming of guitars. Let us play and caper about, like children or mad fools who share a place that we have left behind. It’s not a land you’re invited to. You left long ago. You say not. It’s within your denial, harmony walks along […]
