Despite Expectations
Could it be that I have found and lost my way Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today Mostly I have questions, while answers I offer None will make you powerful nor fill a coffer Does anyone know right questions or answers The sinking Titanic; don’t disturb the dancers Take me to your […]
Sight From Sound
A piercing flute; yellow bird darts above the falls Falling water, low notes drop, drip, splash, plop Cool blue pool reflects a cloudless sky, empties Flute glissandos dance along piano-chord rocks Faster now, volume, power grow as birds chirp As this river of music blusters, pushes, cascades Slides into green darkness of overhanging trees Into […]
Can Harmony Be known?
Rich harmonies spring forth, combine Close your eyes in wonder, so sublime Storyteller’s voice weaves magic above Within and without, a tale about love Chiaroscuro words shift, hide, reveal Bits of forever, our imagination steals Dreams, smoke, dim, bright, the same Win and lose, while playing life’s game Yet losers are winners, never doubt it […]
My Hymn
There are so many things to do, to start All the online petitions that I should sign Lots I should take from my shopping cart As I twiddle my thumbs in the grocery line Too much meat, too much sugar, I know Too many causes clamor for my attention Barely energy to wipe myself, when […]
Morning Lark
How will people of the future see The people who are alive this day Will they ken we act no differently We’re what we do, not what we say I believe it is not the words I write But that I share my hopes and fears Exploring this, our common plight Hope my words may […]

Anticipation
I sing the tune without notes Life, air, water, love and hate Urgent laughter, birds and boats Indrawn breath which all await Star birth and truth glowing Shadows contrast, seeds scatter Wafting aloft; a river flowing Small feet, rain go pitter-patter Glorious crescendo in minor key Within, without, all together Alone, contained, a stormy sea […]
Again
Again, I ask you to sing me my song I do not know the tune or the words Unclear where notes or rests belong Even to me this sounds quite absurd Still, I know, if I once hear this tune I will believe I have always known it A self-symphony, under sun or moon This […]
Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter 12 Continued “C’mere, you bitch,” North breathed in her face. She turned her head away to escape his look and his foul breath. “You’re coming with me.” Stavo surged to his feet, his heart in his throat. Luus snatched her hand free and spit in his eye. “No, I’m not,” she said. “Why don’t…” […]
Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey
Chapter Twelve Stavo stood staring in the mirror and decided there was nothing he could do to pass any better than he had before. Plus, Luus had already knocked once. The knocking grew louder and more persistent, and he wondered how long he’d stood there daydreaming. He smiled. He thought it almost looked genuine. He […]
