The Wind Drifts to Silence
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Wind blows through the hall and the sounds of bells ring. Elementals float in the void, companion birds and beasts. Who’s to say what languages are spoken or token utterance. Is meaning hidden sotto voce? Majesty tumbles off mountains, stampedes far across the plains in thunderous silence. […]
Our Own Song
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ When tomorrow forgets it once was a mystery. Now, it is only the past. Recent or ancient history, no matter how late or long, we wait to find our own song. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Unite the World […]
Exactly Where and When
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Lost in time and in space, unconcerned, utterly relaxed. What to worry? You’re still part of all creation and as creation fills you, you recall it’s impossible to be lost, wherever you may be now. Like the eternal now, the eternal you, always present. Though sometimes more […]
How We Dance
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The dove soars across the sky, lands in a leafless tree, winter. A stream flows through a park, tripping, laughing ripples run. A blue, cloudless sky lowering toward sunset’s colorful glory. How we dance and step along/ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence […]
Golden Crowns
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The magic hour, the golden light filled with power; it fills our sight. Here, then it’s ghostly gone, ere we notice. Where went its silent song?

Sadness and Joy
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The traditional strains of a spiritual soar forth in the soprano saxophone’s voice. The piano drives forward into this tale of love and loss, that is often repeated, if rarely remembered. Sit with me for a moment or two, until we discover joy. Joined emotions from disparate sources. […]
And Who Are We?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Skip and hop along, happy, storybook people. Despite how dark the story becomes, someone will always turn the page. What comes next? If someone has torn out the final pages, and used them as fantasy toilet paper—what then? The story can end at any time. Even when […]
A New Plant
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Tripping lightly down the stairs into life’s sepulcher, you slow. A temple arranged to receive, to fete death, waits in rising smoke. Incense, the zephyr of mourning. We each speak our own tradition in our own language. Only some hear and only a few comprehend. Raise your […]
Both Together
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Sweetly sing the sirens calling you into deep darkness, the cavernous, wound labyrinth, you solve daily. Little more than rats in a lab; it’s only way you know to eat, to feed those closest to you, if only food. Where are the thoughts of escape? Have they dimmed […]
Imaginary Poetry
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Blow out the cobwebs from your mind. Tap your temple for memory or healing. See the drums and drummers gathered around a bright fire,both warm and cold. Reeds are blown from far away, calling to mind birds and animals as yet unseen. The drummers turn in circles, […]
