Hidden Within

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Thirteen people danced and sang, giving voice unto the joy of song. Why that number? No one knows, but the sound they made sublime. It’s a solo in myriad voices. Listing here and there, near and far away. What sways the beauty of notes sung in harmony? Given […]

Our Longing Gaze

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Power and glory sing the same. Bring to me the peace of plenty, the songs of angels and demons. Do you believe not the demons sing? Some would joke that this torment enough to make Hell more than hideous to behold. Who needs fire and brimstone, with […]

Each and Every Day

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ From where I sit, I hear my wife making salad. I see the piano where she sits and plays. I look out my window and see the hills behind my house, covered in trees and bushes, bottom to top. I enjoy the comfortable home my love has […]

Other Than Sleep

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Skip along like a child about to play hopscotch, jump rope.

How Little?

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ (I intended to post every day this month, then COVID laid me low. We think life listens to us, but that’s not always how it goes.)

After All

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ It’s terse, adverse, no time to rehearse. But slowly take your time. Make it count. Like a fountain at full spate. Dive in, no need to wait. Hurry now, the water’s fine. Sometimes, this all feels like mine. To have and to hold, bold and beautiful beyond […]

For Our Continuance

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ How the world sings to me, tells me of joys and capers, lit tapers and closed boxes. How to find my way under a harvest moon? Too soon to wait, anticipate. The coming dawn. The dew on the lawn. Yet the thunder comes and the storm gathers […]

Conversation Deleted Forever

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The message said, conversation deleted forever and I tried to imagine what that would be like. No talking, no texting, no sign language. All gone. No written language, no books; since books are nothing more than conversations from other times. No history, no mystery, no song, Don’t […]

No Restitution

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Fly away as tears fall. Is it joy or is it sorrow? Will I know today? Will I know tomorrow? What presages the past when no one remembers all the days, the sunny Mays and bleak Decembers? Going now, searching for the way to know this is […]
