Life Until Now
~~~~~ Life Once, I lived a life Such as he, who sat and pondered endlessly. Turned each moment upon its head, abandoned quickly when it proved dead. Convinced each battle fought end in winning, damn the cost. Ever, only to regain myself, who wondered, wandered, lost. Until Nourishing love illuminated spirit, encouraged me to grow, […]
Sense is Lost
~~~~~ Still and all, I wonder at sounds heard in the depths of night, and if they are the sorts of things that might give me a fright? Not the ghoulies, no, nor the ghousties, nor the long-leggedy beasties, but the bombs that go boom in the light, The ratta-tat-tat of rapid-fire weapons and bloviated […]
The Elements Redux
I posted this recently, then discovered I’d left off the last verse. ~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the […]
On the Home Front
~~~~~ We brand ourselves, the land of the brave, home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on a bloody spree While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry Righteous people who never sing the song of them, only of me It should […]
Thoughts About Love
~~~~~ Love: You know you are in love when you’d rather be driven crazy by the person you’re with than be sane with anyone else. Love is always hopeful, kind, generous, aware, supportive, accepting, nurturing and able to withstand blows without breaking. Love can be implied or suggested, but never truly defined by what it […]
The Elements
~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the fear of destruction, as powerful as war. Do you hear the crackling […]
All Because
~~~~~ I feel I can make sense of the world for a day and maybe one day more. Is it all because fingertips whorled, made getting up today feel so poor? I’ve much more than I had planned, but I have much less than I dreamed. What I have’s fire the flames I fanned. My […]
No More
~~~~~ A dolorous dirge, hidden in the depths of space and time. Time the liar. Faster, slower, changeable, not the same for you and me. When density, elevation, heat, speed, motion do not match, compare, how then might I or anyone opine any triumph or tragedy? We have or see emotion, pain and waiting will […]
Doesn’t Matter
~~~~~ I have nothing and much to say. My thoughts and words drain away. Watching people, searching for clues, everything I see and hear is all old news. Neither old nor young, may die tomorrow. If indeed this, would I be filled with sorrow? When you are sure you know your future path? This might […]
Belonging
~~~~~ Mistakes may mar the music, but it will not make it noise. Discerning ears might say ick, musician need to regain poise. Like problems, transgressions; we can’t let them ruin our song. Life is just notes in succession. We’re always where we belong. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy […]
