Searching for You

Searching for You ~~~~~ Morning obscured by swollen clouds, rain-slicked streets offer no reflection. I trudge on, collar high to ward damp, as I round a corner, searching for you. Frigid gale, shreds the vaporous veil, ebbs, whispering, wishing, revealing, our spinning dome of stars, galaxies, modest corner of infinite space-time Dazzling, radiant, luminous, lucent, […]

Turning a Blind Eye

Turning a Blind Eye ~~~~~ I think that car is flirting with me, it honks its horn, blinks its lights, no people anywhere that can see, Will I get a ride to see the sights? I walk closer, make it sure it saw. It’s mad, horn honks, lights blink. I run, afraid, it will bring […]

My Views

My Views ~~~~~ I am a philosopher, self-named, since I think of things, postulate. My views may see me detained, Epicurean of life, not what I ate. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

All, Together

All, Together ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being. I find you within me, yet, you don’t understand languages to, of creation too gross and too subtle to speak to you. I will guide a minor poet’s hand. I am every drop of water and […]

Ways of Seeing

Ways of Seeing ~~~~~ See the thinking man. Do you wonder what he thinks, or do you not care? Note: I have started a new series of digital art pieces, I am calling the Faces Project. I’m intrigued by what I’ve found and will be exploring their possibilities and posting them at intervals, with haiku […]

Before We Know

Before We Know ~~~~~ How would we have turned out, if we’d had four arms and hands, instead of the measly two we got? Could this be true on distant sands? Other beings like this in our cosmos, if we ever chance to meet, say hello, one-hand shake insult, you suppose? I expect a long […]

Ere I Depart

Ere I Depart ~~~~~ Every day I need to create. Writing, painting, digital art, any of my other forms to date. I need to express me, ere I depart. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See […]

One Voice

One Voice      ~~~~~ When did we substitute hubris for style; do you think it is simply my aesthetic? When I see straight lines, I cannot smile, near carved entablature; it’s so pathetic. Although, I’m only one voice in this song, I believe we sacrificed our artistry for ego. Even though future years prove me […]

How?

How? ~~~~~ Well, my dogs are barking, now, after taking a really long walk. Although, you may wonder how my feet can bark but cannot talk. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my […]

All the Rest

All the Rest ~~~~~ Why do people think peace implies boring sameness? The cosmos where we live is composed of opposites. We will never have everyone thinking the same way, Nor would we ever even want to, if the truth be told. But opposition is no way required  equal violence. On, off, hot,cold and whatever […]
