Once Upon a Life
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Part One Once upon a single life nearly fifty years ago I sat upon a brick wall in Palo Alto feeling low. Without money a place to stay, listening to an unknown rock band in Litton Plaza, I heard A dulcet voice offering me hello. Who knew such […]
The Eternal Mystery of Phileas, the Lesser: I Must Admit
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ In a Time of Pandemic and Insurrection. ~~~~~ In this dim season of darkening light, When day is eclipsed by growing night, I walk on, crackling crispness, fast-fallen leaves, Like shots from a distant fight. Stark, bare limbs filter the weakened Sunlight, all that my […]
More Not Than There
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ I want to write, paint, design something profound. Still, I’d also like recognition even a little money. Although neither matters much in the cosmic view, Be neither forgotten nor remembered in nova blast. So how do I deal with life now, greeting mortality, Eventual ending […]
All Together
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being. I find you within me, yet; you do not understand languages too, of creation too gross and too subtle to speak to you. I will guide a minor poet’s […]
Hidden Not Gone
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ May the New Year Bring us a Safer, Happier, Healthier, and Kinder World And Thank You for Bringing Me into Your Lives. ~~~~~ Could it be I finally understand, even with my limited perception, that I am but briefly in the band, no matter my […]
Time We Must Wait
People Over Politics, Survival Over Surrender, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Light all the candles. Speak the ritual words. From the past, from the future. Do they now have meaning? Did they ever? Do you believe they will be heard? If they are heard, will it matter? Another ritual, lost. Come and gone, yet to be. […]
A ‘70s Lament and a Moral
~~~~~ Hearing the music of a long forgotten song, A classic, yet we don’t remember its name. It’s not always even what we would choose. Life is its own agenda, some win, some lose. Reminds us, can’t see what tomorrow brings. How any moment might be paupers or kings. What I would say, choose […]
In Each Moment
~~~~~ Wrote these words To pen a thought about a time now unknown, far in the past or the future. I struggled when I found the past too obscure, the future becoming now in each moment that passes. Might as well try reading braille. The more that I thought the […]
In Time
~~~~~ Watching any two people, like you, uncertain and alone, As they meet upon your street, to stroll along and converse. In time, they court, the formal dance, they smile and sigh, Till laughing, flushed, happy and out of breath, they sit. Talking heart-to-heart leads to dialogue, to harmony, to love, Opening, joining, sharing fear, […]
Merging Emerging
~~~~~ Where is the inspiration for poets, Wordwrights, artists, composers, Choreographers, others who sting I neglected to mention them now? Will another’s expression reach us, Inside us, to draw forth our spirit? For me, it is music, spoken word, Creativity, creation, what’s around Me, the way the wind blows, trees, Standing as they have stood, […]
