Ours to Notice
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Where do we find the good in life? Is it hidden in everyday moments, natural or created, as all things are? Each moment in life is not pleasant, but each and all belong, enrich our song of creation. Despite how badly we have done to date, we […]
This is How
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The passion of an argument, a good idea shared, batted back and forth, the token in a newly-minted game. The passion of love; soft, fierce and existential. This is how we find truth. Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Unite the World […]
No Travesty Implied
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Dancing down the street talking to birds, flowers. Waving to cops, random folk, strangers I’ve yet to meet. A happy tune trips through my thoughts, to tempt a smile. Promise, I will share it today and often, whenever I may. How do we go through our days, […]
Enough, Just Enough
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Time is money, money is time, yet I’d like to see you eat either one. Tokens we value, believe have worth, are extremely puzzling to me. They are symbolic, I know, they can give no shelter by themselves. We treat them as real, pursue them with zeal, cry […]
We Have Changed
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The drama of the storm, as watched safely, behind glass, from a distance. Wind marks its approach. Lightning flashes, a crack of thunder soon after. Rain starts to fall, pounding on the roof and on our thoughts, mysteries. Knocking on a door held firmly shut. The rain […]

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Talk to me, foretell the future, explain the past so I understand. How can I tell you what I don’t know, explain what happened before your birth. I put this into words, which you know but will not feel. Even if we both speak at once, mirror […]
Why Else am I Here?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ It is not something you eat, wear, or hang up as decorations, mark where you live, or proclaim self. Still, is not everything we do, say, choose, or ignore only this; nothing more? I expect my words, life will be forgotten after I or any I love are […]
Angle of Repose
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ At the Foot of the Mountain ~ Philip Brent Harris Rife with passion my heart cannot contain, I will it open. Sharing each smile and laugh, each curse and frown, so when they are gone, it’s all left behind. Could my smile tip the balance point and thus […]
Golden Crowns
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The magic hour, the golden light filled with power; it fills our sight. Here, then it’s ghostly gone, ere we notice. Where went its silent song? A lazy evening as three deer dance away, up a hillside, chance at play. The trees, golden crowns tarnished, then gone, the […]
Hand-in-Hand, Side-by-Side
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The couple walks along hand-in-hand. No words pass between them or must. Just a soft touch, a gently squeeze says, I’m here with you, here for you, always. They let go, walk on, still side-by-side, still silent. Except a twinkling glance, a smile. They’ve had this conversation […]
