Within My Heart

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Heart of the Matter ~ Philip Brent Harris   Within my heart, love expands. It grows, pushes against walls which you know are love itself, disguised as our friable flesh. Love carries blood throughout our fleeting houses, using it and replenishing it with the breath of the love […]

Only Some Know

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Birds sing within the bog, malodorous fen. Telling us that decay is joyful, that it leads to life. Water gurgles, warbles, chuckles, trills and welcomes us. The bark of a fox, and the squeaks of mice speaking their own tongues. All creatures, titans to tinies hear the […]

Angelique

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The club, dark and smokey with pot and hash; cigarettes de classe. Whiskey and gin flow like the oasis fountains, As there, the air filled with foreign tongues all converse. Tables are full, the bar stands three deep. Men and women drink beer and vodka. While the […]

Another Day

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Wind chimes collide in the distance, full throated, rife with music, as if a soft breeze sings. Just awakened, you think it’s some tune on a radio. Until you remember your neighbor Judith’s recent purchase to celebrate her freedom from that brutish man she still loves. Though […]

We Are One

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Sound the horns of color. Heralds of a new day. Slowly seen and  rapidly forgotten. When the sun awakes, peaks above the horizon. Glory we observe, going forth into warmth or stepping into the storm. We are nourished on a world not designed for us, by us, […]

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 […]
