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 […]

What Good Would That Do?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The procession marches in, announced by the major domo, coupled by couple. As the musicians prepare to play and the dancers take their places. They bow and curtsy, hold hands and move in formal figures. Who can figure the reasons? All the whys and wherefores. Therefore I […]
Better Now
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Tell me, tell me, please. Tell me everything you know. Please explain your hopes and dreams, joys and sorrows. How will I understand you, if you refuse to share? No matter how dark or bright? Secrets of the day, glories of the night fill me now Gone […]
What A Marvelous Space
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ What spirit moves through the heart, the mind, the brains, the hands of any creator? This is a question all should ask. We all create in our own ways, to the degree of which we are capable, though even the most minor among us have created life’s […]
1,000 Years
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Inspired by the works of composer, Kian Ravaei Run to me and throw your arms around me, as I hug you in return.
