Misunderstanding
Any who think we’ve only this chance Fear eternal damnation; you toe the line Seeds of limitation sown you shall reap Must you choose to drag the rest down So do the impossible, at least once a day This doesn’t have to be before breakfast Laugh out loud and a joke’s power steal Smile at […]
Next
In the wee small hours at noon one day I turn on darkness; the sky grows bright That night I polish the sun so it gleams Each thing I do, simply because of you I walk the widest ocean to swim uphill Turn myself inside out, if you love me Smash time’s hourglass, so please […]
Absence

Spot On
When everything in life you daily fought Are things with which your life is fraught While you feel you’re doing all you ought All your efforts add up to less than naught Make sure you’re not in your trap caught Dream, hope and try for what you sought Recall, it is within, not things you […]

Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]
Only Bright Day

Bartholomew Matthew
Bartholomew Mathew Cannot decide Tangled in social metaphor Smiling snide remarks Too knowing asides Yearns for freedom From his shabby garret His plush penthouse Can he escape Fly away Will he try Ensnared in darkness His shadow’s umbra Anticipates crisis Steps and turns Life’s dance marathon His daily rumba Sudden, explosive Will he be Still […]
In Concert
To make every moment a work of art To see truth in each second of our day Live as if no time is left, embrace all Comprehend magic in the mundane Feel music as a pianist bobs and bows Rocks back and forth like Ray Charles Not blindness, because music is inside Dance’s soul in […]
