At the Tone, the Time Will Be…
At the Tone, the Time Will Be… ~~~~~ The time has come to think this through, Time to consider, choose how we will live. Sheltered in time, about both me and you; Time to know, for all we take we must give. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment […]
When Our World is Well
When Our World is Well ~~~~~ When our world is well, once again, And we no-longer shelter-in-place, Will we return to stress and strain, Smile in greeting, afraid to embrace? When our world is well, once again, Will it all be like it was just before, Forced to put life over death, pain, To feel […]
Before
Before ~~~~~ How do we surmise We have said and done Enough to think we’re wise? Will we know before we’re gone? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative offerings and opinions […]
No Longer
No Longer ~~~~~ I can no longer write of hate Not even to decry it I can only write of love Though our actions belie it I must not chew on pain and fear Though daily on the menu I must change my diet As I cannot change my venue ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence […]

Learn now, all humankind worthy, Our value is innate, not only profit For those who have no compassion, Dictating to us because we let them. We must not allow […]
Light Hidden Within
Light Hidden Within ~~~~~ Part One Looking for words that will tell A story: who we were and who We became, after long illness. The first part I know, as do you, At least this moment, as I write These words, chasing meaning, So we all choose cogent change. I hope we hear the sane […]
Am I?
Am I? ~~~~~ Does everyone feel the need to create Or only to impose order on the chaos? Is a search for a higher purpose innate, A way to handle death, since we must? All creators, I think, have some doubts. For any who believe, did god feel this? Omniempathetic, god must have bouts. […]
Of Course
Of Course ~~~~~ Why, of course, it’ll cost a lot. It cannot be any good, if not. Do you really believe this true, Just a bill of goods sold to you? Would you matter either way? Would it matter any given day? It cannot matter that I can see; You know, never comes for free. […]
Cannot Imagine
Cannot Imagine ~~~~~ Have you this modern truth brought home, Your devices, machines, smarter than you? With all their various prompts and screens, Your car and phone communicate, so new. New to me; I’m old, adult before this time. My first job, each file kept on paper alone, Eight jobs in, till a mainframe I […]
