Circular
~~~~~ My heart seeks answers to questions I do not know, know to ask or answer. Bemusing, I do not understand understanding. I cannot ponder, wonder which, I cannot conceive tenants of faith I do not believe. Existence, nonexistence, always, ever, always never. Everywhere, nowhere, Yet, always, always in the center. A pawn of fate, […]
Anticipation

Alone, contained, a stormy […]
Part and Parcel
~~~~~ Land’s end, is it real or only metaphor? Will it bend, as need will reveal what we’ll use it for? The coastal horizon, undiscovered place where we walk. Will we put a guise on to hide our face or so we don’t balk? The known world, they tell me, is set. I cannot believe […]

Brief Moments
How my heart soars on the wings of song Dances across the letters in lyrical prose Swims in lush colors of artist’s meadows Allows brief moments which I may roam Blink of an eye; I know what it is to free See more of my creative offerings and opinions at: Pen’s Might Philip Brent Digital […]
If Never I Would Leave You
This should be sung to the tune of If Ever I Would Leave You, from Camelot. Should be featured in the new musical, Scamelot. If ever I got impeached, It would crash the market. Really crash the market, As only I know. My hair streaked with sunlight, While flips said my name, My face full […]
