Even When We Don’t
~~~~~ As always, in the middle of the night, Some things will be wrong, some right. It’s not even always what you choose. Life has its own agenda, win or lose. No one knows what tomorrow brings, Our next now, may be paupers, kings. Still, we must always live in this now. Do it, even […]
Dive Into the Sky
~~~~~ Do you buy self-help books by ones, twos Or do you buy them by the bloody dozens? Stop halfway through, dejected, confused, Yet sing their praises, to friends or cousins. Do you read the advice, but don’t follow it And then you wonder why it doesn’t work? You sought tools to scramble from your […]
Whorled Enough and Time
~~~~~ How many names will not be remembered? What numberless stories will never get told? Life on the Earth, with no guaranteed word; No one may remember, when you grow old. Is this any way important, when we’re loved? Mothers, fathers, family and friends abound. To chosen families, we are fitted and gloved. With a […]
What’s the Sequestion?
~~~~~ Why do we do the things we do, Pushing on through our pain? Why do we do it, when we know One option is to not walk again? I don’t think my pain leads to that; Yet, past fields, up hills we climbed. Still, I didn’t fall on my face, splat, A small grace, […]
Soon Remember
~~~~~ Soon, we will return home, again, With nothing but time to spend. We dream of places to roam, then Watch the tube, read a book, pretend. Though how we’ve lived until now, Makes us feel guilty for shirking. Want to produce; we don’t know how. Remember, what we did wasn’t working VOTE, November 3, […]
Answer to an Unasked Question
~~~~~ Passionate Pacific my daily inspiration, sunlight, sand and surf. Murmured messages wash on shore, chased by crashing waves. Warm strand, moonlit, twinkling on the swells, reflecting earth, Wind, water, weather form transient art, the sea gives and takes. Humbled by such vastness of ocean, rolling beyond the horizon, This and more besides to stir […]
No Guarantee
~~~~~ Blow it up or blow it down, No point us hanging around. We start again as a beginner If we lived as saint or sinner. Still and all, it’s been before; Not by us, so now our chore. Some craven but some brave, Dumb, brazen sum’s a grave. What it is, not bad nor […]
Between
~~~~~ Might I be such a clever person Who can say in but a few words, Between birth to my hearse gone, Something you have never heard? ~~~~~ VOTE, November 3, 2020! ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what […]
In Each Moment
~~~~~ Wrote these words To pen a thought about a time now unknown, far in the past or the future. I struggled when I found the past too obscure, the future becoming now in each moment that passes. Might as well try reading braille. The more that I thought the […]
None May Know
~~~~~ Imagine, how do we tell our own love story? Do we believe love exists in a state of grace? Fear it will be a stroll along life’s razor edge, Plunge into the deep, head first, eyes closed. Do we make our dive unsure if we can swim? Will love’s buoyancy help float us on […]
