A Dream That Is Real
A Dream That Is Real ~~~~~ A dream that is real as a promise; It’s something would become us. And if in becoming, we became, No need anything stay the same. Although you cannot believe me, When you do, you’ll not leave be. Truth, within your heart lies bliss, A dream that is real as […]
Dark as Distance
Dark as Distance ~~~~~ Softly now, we whisper, walk along a winding clifftop path. Under sun or stars, day or night, we chat, calm, confident Cradled in the touch, the strength of holding each other’s hands. Cold mist off the ocean stings our arms, but we are warm, together Then, as if by chance, we […]
Soaked
Soaked ~~~~~ We went out for a walk and shopping. Humid, rain promised, hot and sweaty. I am temporarily not wearing my mask, Though my car window’s open to the air. Vehicle parks beside me, a pickup truck And on goes my mask, soaked in sweat. I see people passing, who don’t believe, No mask, […]
When Our World is Well
When Our World is Well ~~~~~ When our world is well, once again, And we no-longer shelter-in-place, Will we return to stress and strain, Smile in greeting, afraid to embrace? When our world is well, once again, Will it all be like it was just before, Forced to put life over death, pain, To feel […]

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. […]
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 […]
That’s Why
That’s Why These days, life feels so crazy and confusing. It does not one bit of good to keep refusing. I simply cannot spend all my time snoozing. I find no answers in the books I’m perusing. I am told it’s about the winning and losing. And I think this more than a little bemusing. […]
