Pale Reflections
Pale Reflections ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shadows of trees, which do not exist, extinguished by sudden, bright lights. Four musicians, in white, tux jackets, take the stage, like waiters to serve us some succulent moments, Beethoven. I wonder about their histories and any tales to […]

Nature’s Fan
Nature’s Fan ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Now, snow rests upon my weary head. Might I have used another path instead? It’s growing darker, nature’s fan is nigh, it’s bold palette, on distant shore I spy. Did I wait overlong my steps to retrace; the treasures […]
At Risk
At Risk ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ At the risk that I repeat, I am not feeling replete. By cars upon my street, I know I’m not an elite. Fearing I only baa, bleat, as my hours vanish fleet, till I’m but merely meat, and lying […]
What I Said
What I Said ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Mired in my mind maze, lonely and lost, as I wander around inside my own head.

Remember Not
Remember Not ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I remember when young, one time when I lived in the moment.

Choose
Choose ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ We are but tiny thinking specks, on a tiny living speck, merely insignificant bits of matter. We can choose to be specks living in harmony or war forever, never quit. Choose, the former or latter. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence […]
Life and Time
Life and Time ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Life is trying, trying to stretch me, stretch me thin. Extenuated tries, treasons, lies, reasons, death and life, sorrow trouble borrowed double. Tears flow, falling like rain, striking, splashing, battering, splattering. Ripples spreading, intersecting. No respite, no recrimination, […]
Clocking Out
Clocking Out ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ As the clock for our survival runs, tic, tic, tic, some pick profits over people, sick, sick, sick. If we don’t make changes quick, quick, quick, there’ll be no need for a clock going tic, tic, tic ~~~~~ Peace […]
In the End
In the End ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ M.E. said, wherever you go, there you are. Yet, if you went, then you have gone away. These both, in their own way sound clever. So in the end, if you go, will you then stay? ~~~~~ Peace […]
