Smaller Than Eyes
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! Summer Harbor ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Steely gray is the world today Pleasantly cool for walking. It appears I have a lot to say, And that I never stop talking. My mind skips place to place Foot fingers to deepest space. Pleasantly cool for walking. Pebbled path, so […]
The Hand You Drew
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ The ocean bubbles up in whitecaps, Like a pot of water starting to boil. No need for any programs or apps. Wait silently, without stress or toil. If it should rain, you can run inside. Pause, the clouds will clear to blue. Smile, with open mouth, open eyes […]
Color of Hope
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Red is the color of my true love’s hair although everyday she dyes it. We’ve been stuck inside, sheltering. She asks if I like it, at least a bit. She says it helps her mirror’s face when she wakes up feeling blue. Orange you happy in your place […]
Wondering Why
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Looking at my art, trying to decide why views don’t become purchases, I realized something. I rarely include people in my art. I’ve known this, but it somehow became more starkly real. Frankly, I think the planet might be better off without us. I don’t know if this […]
Sans Us
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ In my art, you will almost never see people in either the city or country. “What about us? Save us; you must.” Our planet would be better sans us. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ Please, leave […]
Only Me
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ How many lives have already passed buried, burned, dumped into the sea? Will their bones or ashes even matter? Their flesh consumed, returned earth. Smoke from their cremation drifts up marking the sky in meaning, portent. Waste returned in rain feeds oceans. Yet does their bulk add to […]
Remembrance of Things Past
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Sunlight slants through the forest Painting some trunks high, low and in between. Some shine brightly, as if they stand, sway, basking in in a spotlight. Some barely glow, reflected, not bright. The colors change, yellow, red, orange, alter green to green, golden in shadow, grays Yet there’s […]
The Person Who You Knew
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Remember me, so I can know myself. Talk about me, so I’ll always remain. Tell me of the person who you knew. Both what you loved and what hated. In the best loves, storybook romances There are things which make us crazy. If they, we linger a long […]
Why Wait?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ We must all refuse to hate. We must before it’s too late. What does it say about me? What does it say about you? Do you claim, follow a faith? Teaches love and not scaith. Yet you’re a bigot and cheat, Who would kill with thought? Not passion, […]
Red Shifted
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Watching the news last night, noticed something, caused a fright. Stories full of depraved, depressing sights, ads for new medicines, so I will not die tonight Told who died, was shot, or another dastardly deed. Told I can’t breathe, my ticker’s bad, but they have what I need. […]
