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? A lazy evening as three deer dance away, up a hillside, chance at play. The trees, golden crowns tarnished, then gone, the […]
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, […]
Know They Are Alive
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Who or what this song may be, where it came from its beauty calls you to close your eyes to simply listen until all other sound has vanished. Listen until you disappear into space and time. Madcap revelers race through your gathering. Riotously roiling late partiers lolling around, […]
Into the Past and Future
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Softly and swiftly, fly into the night. Careful! Let no one see you, hear you. Let your music blend into life around you, until you do not know where you begin or where you end. Your ear hears sound not yet made, as if from a galaxy. So […]
Mad Chattering, Gentle Muse
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ The birds rise up and circle overhead. A moment, strangely silent, unnerving you, as you wait, finally hear a note, a a shriek, a squawk, mad chattering. So loud, you convince yourself it was not ever silent. You walk on, hear a violin playing in the city square. […]
His Little Horn
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Amidst our daily cacophony is it anywonder we cannot hear each other?I can barely hear myself, most days.Met a bird walking down the block,Disguised as a clown in an orange wig.Hadn’t seen the clown for some time. Hesqueezed his little horn every chance he got. Diversity is […]
