Life as We Have Lived It

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Fill my heart with all good things. Take from me the pain of grief. How will I know when one is transitioned to the other? Both are always present to some degree. And without pain, how will I recognize joy. Without chaos, how, then, peace. Chaos has […]

If Only

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Despite our greatness, our most stellar accomplishments, a time will come when age robs us of the facility to continue, and we must decide it’s time to succumb.

Life All Around

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The gulls fly above the beach, reach for the air, the next flap, the next breath, eye to eye with other gulls. Pelicans pass, heading in the opposite direction. I track them with my eye, as they dive into the ocean one by one fishers of the […]

Alive And Continuing

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Slide and hide from life, yet you are sure to be found. Whether you end up in the gutter or discovered to great renown. Someday you too will be forgotten, relegated to the depths of time though I and others may breathe the same air as the […]

You’re Out

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I sit on the sidelines, wanting to play this game called life. I would take the stage, play hero or villain.

One Spark

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ No matter what words, subjects, phrases I pursue, I only write about love.

The World Entire

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ How lovely is the evening, as gently blow the breezes. They cast me to another time and another place than this. What now do I find or seek? Could it be I seek only peace in a time of great turmoil? Rife with hatred and division, disguises […]

Furiously Along

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Wonder of the trees and small creatures, as I wander down the path which runs beside the burbling, bumbling stream. I stroll and watch the birds flit tree-to- tree and the squirrels, which chatter at me, would wish me far away from here. I descend a hill […]
