Climb of Beauty
Climb of Beauty ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ (Written while listening to der Winterreise — Schubert) Wondering, I wander within a wood, lost in thought, again, wonder without sight or care, though I might end up anywhere. I seek escape from my nightmare, to return 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 […]
And Then I Know
And Then I Know ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I, one evening, going out to a recital, look away from my life, a brief moment. When my gaze returns, my perception changes, questions in my mind foment. Walking to the concert hall, after it’s rained, light […]
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. Though not the moment, the time itself. Nor do I recollect the now when I became self-reflected. Imputing moments with meaning, without presence. Revealing that in […]
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 […]
Always
Always ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Oh so many ways we can dream and hope. Some near, some distant, need a telescope Find what we want or want what we find; spend years so depressed, out of our mind. Will we start to understand which is […]
Damaged Earth, Damaged Sky
Damaged Earth, Damaged Sky ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Why would I want to go that way, knowing where it will likely lead? Like any who find faith at the end, in case they were wrong all along. This conversion on their death bed pure hubris, […]
One Exception
One Exception ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ I sit in my car and write, parked in a neighborhood where I would like to live. Unimpeded Pacific Ocean view, out of my price range. Beside bluffs atop Mavericks. Big wave riding has no appeal, though there is […]
