A Matter of Heart

~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. The confusion in this world is that things are being loved and people are being used. Unknown – At least I couldn’t find any attribution I am sick […]

Slipping Way

~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Now always hard to find, slips away every moment. I beseech you not to mind, it shows us where go went. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Brent Harris Fine Art Philip Brent Digital […]

Now or in the Future

~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Filled with chances, wasted hours, happy times the path ahead carries us onward, up a distant hill. What stops will we make, steps will we take, missed friends, opportunities, through fear, reason, self-treason? Challenges we’ll add to our path’s trials as […]

Time and Tyrants

~~~~~ Then, how do we judge things we create reflecting the world and the self we present. Utilitarian, glorious, elegant, ugly, personal, public, whatever field. Music which may soar as skyscrapers, cathedrals. Art, as massive dam or a mighty cataract that surmounts it, shatters it, altering our landscape, a flowing river, stopped by a new […]

Talking to Others, Talking to Myself

~~~~~ Who do you like to talk most? What do you like to talk about? Do you listen or brag and boast? Are you confident, full of doubt? Do you prove the gracious host, hassle your guest, yell and shout? Do you try, or only merely coast, dominate and make others pout? Chatter, jabber talk […]

Eternity

Eternity is everything and nothing with a twist ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

War and Music

~~~~~ The held breath Anticipated moment Awaiting Fall of the baton Order to attack The battle begun Enemy engaged Black notes Nebulous faces Hours of practice, drill Engraving response Into your body Your mind, being Carving moments Movements Into your soul Send up a prayer To a higher power Universal spirit Favored deity To watch […]

Nothing Left to Give

~~~~~ Smart phones are a boon and a curse. They unite, simultaneously isolate us. Rooted deep into our days, our purse, in oh so many ways they bankrupt us. Tech rules, talking, staring at a screen, cut off from each as we communicate. To the fly on my leg, it means nothing. In caves, no-touch […]

If

~~~~~ If I could save to world or me, oh, what a crazy choice that would be. I would choose to save the world, you see, but for my love, who matters more than the world or me. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength,  Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a […]
