Circular
My heart seeks answers To questions I do not know Know to ask or answer No, musings 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
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…” […]

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.

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 […]
Wisely Pick
Folk music concert draws a crowd, some new and familiar faces Seen both in the audience and also in the band Old time tunes brought to life, different folks in different places The fiddler’s riffs hearken back unto the land The times and songs that these musicians all carry in their heads Must give their […]
