All Life Plays
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ How rapidly the river courses over boulders and stones, big tree trunks and small talus. We watch in awe, too afraid to join the dance stand entranced. Wait for the wind to curl, the waves, slaves to conditions, whether the snow melt, or pull of the distant […]
Half Past
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The shadow on the sundial had stopped moving. Half past one. The sun hung in the cloudless heavens above. It grew warmer. I wondered what had happened to all the people. I saw no-one. I paced, waiting for you to return home again. Gone for hours. Sweat […]

When You Say Goodbye
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Think of me when you go tell me you love me. How might I begin to know what the secret of my time here may mean? Like something from a movie scene, mise en scène? How can I begin, explain everything fluttering within my brain. My thoughts […]

Half Empty Glass
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Pushing on and pushing through, like a train climbing a mountain. The water in any fountain, seeking heights and falling down. As if it can never reach the ground. Hidden in our hearts, our brains, the strains of hiding from our selves. Delving deeper than we feel […]
Cracking an Egg
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ This poem cannot be a broken egg. This poem cannot be a glorious sunrise. This poem cannot trim my big toenail. This poem cannot speak to the devil. This poem cannot wander the seashore. This poem cannot pretend it’s a puppy. This poem cannot find a lost […]
Believing in Giving
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Still, there’s more to find. Places I must shine a light, create a crack where the glow may enter and escape. Make myself truly the taper of my life. Giving more light than I receive. Believing in giving. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is […]
Decide It’s So
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I hope you will find a way to get to your destination. What’s your expectation? Do you push and whine, stiffen your spine against the zings and heroes of your existence? Find resistance around every corner, knowing it’s your own trials you carry with you? No matter […]
