Why This Is
~~~~~ In any time and any place most will stay, but some must go. It doesn’t matter where or when, they feel the need to travel. And this is a need, and not a want, though it involves desire. You wonder why others wander, while those who do, must. And during their ramblings, they reinvent […]
Other Mornings

Even When We Don’t
~~~~~ As always, in the middle of the night, Some things will be wrong, some right. It’s not even always what you choose. Life has its own agenda, win or lose. No one knows what tomorrow brings, Our next now, may be paupers, kings. Still, we must always live in this now. Do it, even […]
Dive Into the Sky
~~~~~ Do you buy self-help books by ones, twos Or do you buy them by the bloody dozens? Stop halfway through, dejected, confused, Yet sing their praises, to friends or cousins.

Whorled Enough and Time
~~~~~ How many names will not be remembered? What numberless stories will never get told? Life on the Earth, with no guaranteed word; No one may remember, when you grow old. Is this any way important, when we’re loved? Mothers, fathers, family and friends abound. To chosen families, we are fitted and gloved. With a […]
