Universal Play
Universal Play ~~~~~ I have been told it is good to look in the mirror. Though all I see is a flipped image of who I chose, this time, to be. Yet, when I look out my windows, I see all of us a reflection of who and what we chose to play, as our […]
Our Need to Fill
Our Need to Fill ~~~~~ All the things we know about the world, which make us feel superior. Lies, omissions shout- ed as truth, half-truth, we steal, or our own. How stupid we are. Decisions we make which lead to fortune and or disaster’s mar in inexorable, ponderous speed, fast; we should not blink. Still, […]
Game of Opposites
Game of Opposites ~~~~~ Something is lost and something gained, when we expand, learn and grow wiser We lose our exuberance but gain restraint, Race is long, too short to play the miser. Wisdom so often speaks in contradictions, brilliance most often found in age, youth. How this will turn out baffles predictions. In our […]
Enough, Just Enough
Enough, Just Enough ~~~~~ 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 if we miss […]
Contagion
Contagion ~~~~~ Waiting to get my flu shot, sitting in a crowded room, from babies to old geezers, hoping I’ll get called soon. I hope it does its job, if not sickness may for me loom and, I’ll be an old sneezer, daily, from noon to noon. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity […]
Most Likely
Most Likely ~~~~~ Can you see the crazy man standing over there? You might think him normal. I assure you he is not. Stress has robbed his strength, his ability to recover. I’ve heard it said, no rest for the wicked, or no rest for the weary, This is no rest for the busy. Whether […]
As I Fall Behind
As I Fall Behind ~~~~~ In the light of the sunset, I saw the eyes of truth. Though they saw the debt I had accrued in youth, They left me smiling, just the same. In the glory of the dawn, I heard the voice of all creation, saw the raptor and the fawn. I lived […]
More Than
More Than ~~~~~ How will we ever know what is right, Despite what our hierophants preach? How do we keep our fiery hope alight? Our answer’s unknown, but we reach. If a word, god, didn’t exist, now, ever, I cannot imagine the need to coin one. This may prove wrong, yet I’m clever. At night […]
By Your Choices
By Your Choices ~~~~~ I grasp my time, my life, my being, Like the blind men and the elephant. What I perceive not what I’m seeing. It may be my fire’s just on my pants. Chasing after truth by concocting lies, Mystic brews that obscure and reveal. All my victories, failures and my tries, Perchance […]
Crazy Poet
Crazy Poet ~~~~~ I know this crazy poet. he lives inside my head. About language, he know it. At least, that’s what he said. Rhyme, meter, he can show it. Words flow from my pen instead. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and […]
