Listen
Listen ~~~~~ I listen to hear the rhythm of the world, songs of all the galaxies, spirals unfurled. I listen to my heartbeat, a lone songbird, any sound we live with, yet rarely heard. Hearing, listening are not the same thing. One uses brain and ears, one focus pings. Listen to the world and perspective […]
Game of Opposites
Game of Opposites ~~~~~ Something is lost and something gained, when we expand, learn and grow wiser We lose our exuberance but gain restraint, Race is long, too short to play the miser. Wisdom so often speaks in contradictions, brilliance most often found in age, youth. How this will turn out baffles predictions. In our […]
Contagion
Contagion ~~~~~ Waiting to get my flu shot, sitting in a crowded room, from babies to old geezers, hoping I’ll get called soon. I hope it does its job, if not sickness may for me loom and, I’ll be an old sneezer, daily, from noon to noon. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity […]
As I Fall Behind
As I Fall Behind ~~~~~ In the light of the sunset, I saw the eyes of truth. Though they saw the debt I had accrued in youth, They left me smiling, just the same. In the glory of the dawn, I heard the voice of all creation, saw the raptor and the fawn. I lived […]
Change
Change ~~~~~ What will the future think of us? Assuming we somehow survive. Will they say, can you imagine, they believed anything like that? If love as contagious as violence, would we stand carriers at a wall, to then shout, Ready, Aim, Fire? Does violence burn love to ash? Some say that love conquers all, […]
Or Not
Or Not ~~~~~ X marks the spot, cross your heart, hope to die. Swear it’s here where your ex was, or was not. Your ex, until he or she got burned, was cross. Cross the street and join me, make no excuse. Tightly woven patterns, some might be of use. Can we be sure, as these […]
More Than
More Than ~~~~~ How will we ever know what is right, Despite what our hierophants preach? How do we keep our fiery hope alight? Our answer’s unknown, but we reach. If a word, god, didn’t exist, now, ever, I cannot imagine the need to coin one. This may prove wrong, yet I’m clever. At night […]
Day for Night
Day for Night ~~~~~ My life awaits the light of day, though it is not currently night. By day, I mean knowing the way to turn my darkness into light. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. […]
Pieces and Parts
Pieces and Parts ~~~~~ I will play one last piece, each time, before I depart. Until I take the stage anew. I will sit a while in peace, and choose my new part. I’ve been me; could I be you? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, […]
By Your Choices
By Your Choices ~~~~~ I grasp my time, my life, my being, Like the blind men and the elephant. What I perceive not what I’m seeing. It may be my fire’s just on my pants. Chasing after truth by concocting lies, Mystic brews that obscure and reveal. All my victories, failures and my tries, Perchance […]
