Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey

Chapter Eleven Stavo had moved on from Asgard. The weather there was too cold, the ground too hard. He had moved, when he knew staying in one place might be better. He’d heard talk that some of Arcadia’s dispossessed settlers had turned up on a planet called, Ne’rdowell. He’d been rewarded, but not completely. He’d […]

Even When, We Must

We must celebrate what’s good, but expose what is wrong We must never be complacent; say the day cannot be won We must guard the gains we garner, no matter how small Even the smallest light, the tiniest step forward benefits all We must fight against the fossils who pull us back in time We […]

Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey

Chapter Two Eni no longer stood by Stavo and Brother Dom. She marched up to North and pinned him with her stare. Joy Hardiway, looking distraught, came up as well. Eni made North begin again, though it made him swear. He spoke more slowly under her prodding glare and his tone was not so fraught […]

 In Dreams One Night

In my dreams one night I heard such music Soft and sweet, so simple yet so complete Never imagined I such music, as I listened It wafted through me, with lightning force Aware it spoke to only me, I got so confused Lost, I wandered, desolate and disconsolate Our world’s clangorous cacophony unheard Withint distant […]

Love

You have always given me more than mere love Laughter and music, and the occasional shove You have helped me to grow, relearn how to cry You have helped me to sometimes not ask why You have been so loyal and steadfast; my rock You were forged in love, the only key to my lock […]

Please Tell Them

Genesis of Silliness Too many years ago for me to actually remember when, At a party I was attending, I saw a message written on a board near the kitchen door. I thought about how it would sound set to music, and even developed a chorus I sometimes sing in my head. It’s been around […]

What We Always Know

When I think about beauty, I confess What makes me happy looks the best Bright colors, harmony, truth or jest Although I also like much of the rest Think minor chords as well as tragedy May impart more truth than reality We survive tempest to feel tranquility It’s all just on or off, to be […]

Without Exception

Minds, when open like a blooming flower Pollinated by ideas each and every hour Open eyes can only see but not perceive Closed minds neither, unable to receive Pen marries paper, sparks a new flame Flame marries taper, fire briefly tamed Bow caresses strings, tender as true love Ethereal music brings down from above Brush […]
