At the Café

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I wait for my coffee and listen to the man play the piano for other people who sit and wait. Some just chat, carry on their lives as they have, do every day and every day. Down at the local café. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is […]

Fill the World

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth~~~~~ ~~~~~ Fill the world with harmony. Balance with a dash of bitter. What could possibly be fitter? I need the arts to fill life, in myhome, my being. In all formsand ways of seeing. Can youhear the bell-like tones? Listen. Crashing a pelting storm. Distant waves hidden just out of sight […]

Contained in Nothingness

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~   I float in the ethereal, surrounded by the known unknowing, the presence, absence, death of life, so life may live. Never one unless the other shares the spot. All of these things, ideas, concepts happening. Contained in nothingness. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace […]

Neither Particle Nor Wave

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The luscious longitude of creation,languid latitude of space and time.Embodied in a being so giganticwe barely imagine we’re but part.Infinitesimal, until we grow vast Think a body made in the image of  a cosmos, embodying everything, nothing. Long before time began. If it indeed ever did so. […]

If It’s Human

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~   ~~~~~ The doves circled in the dawn. Settled into trees, talking softly among themselves in whispers. So they will attract no attention. Neither from the mighty nor the small life which scurries below. Something dark and dangerous stalks through the center of the forest. Quiet settles. With […]

In Your Mind.

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Stroll languidly through Redwood trees. The soft, sweet whistle of a passing train carries your mind to a distant destination. A time long past or yet to come. Stretching you to grow into your full being. Stop in a clearing where sunlight filters to the ground. Brown […]

No Matter What

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Has the problem always been with us? I wonder. What do you think? Do you ponder the slow notes of the piano? Wonder at the length of time the sustain pedal is depressed. Surely, an odd way to look at life. It is close to the truth, […]

Only Ever

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The moon singing with the sea, in soft voices many cannot hear. As light dances with night birds, plays with the trees and grasses. Oh, to let the moon and the seas whisper to me, to tell me secrets; mine alone. To hear,  impart, to add my […]

Able in Time

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I am a member of my familywho moved away, a generationremoved. Still, it places me atso far away from stories heardand told around kitchen tablesat picnics on misquitoed patios.I’ll not smell citronella or knowthe ozone fizzing of bug zapper Mine another family, not mine,2,000 miles from blood […]

Another Dance

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Hear these steps of all soldiers dancing a waltz, on the evening before they are deployed. War awaits them, with certainty and horror; hiding the fear of death. Keeping their fear ever to mind. Until they almost wish for, hope for, pray for it to prey upon […]
