By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers, we can’t define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; faith in their own unknown eschews […]
Intent Ion
~~~~~ Minuscule beyond imagining, cation meets anion, sudden explosion, screaming outward, all directions, growing, spinning, spiraling into a being vast beyond comprehension. Thirteen point eight billion years alive, expanding, encompassing life, teaching, learning, amazing, baffling, Inexorable. Examining from within, delving diligently, piecing together a totality puzzle, no sample image, unrecognizable wreckage ruins or futures. Concepts, […]
Dry Their Tears
~~~~~ I remember word, that earth would be inherited by the meek I hope that it will happen soon, maybe Wednesday next week I think I could pretend, join them, but then I could not speak I know I would find it difficult if I could never open my beak You may think it odd […]
Our Part
~~~~~ To every age its art. To every art its freedom. We all will play our part. No matter where we’re from. ~~~~~ 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 […]
Light, A Distant Vista
~~~~~ Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create, atlas beneath my half sky, inventing my truth in beauty, before I’m late. Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer. When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier. Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth […]
Love is All
~~~~~ Ancient before time, impenetrable void waited,, crawled from its atomic shell instantaneous illumination flared. Newborn this moment, a swirling figure moves, is every moment. Innocently wise, hopeful, in constant conflict. Cooperation in every interchange, full of wonder, every and all stories. Worth living for, growing, expansive, worth dying for, each instant, all mirrored within […]
Searching for You
~~~~~ Natural light obscured by swollen clouds, rain-slicked streets offer me no reflection. Trudging on, collar high to ward off damp, as I turn a corner, searching for this, you. Frigid gale, shredding the vaporous veil, ebbs, whispering encouraging, revealing, our spinning globe of stars and galaxies, this modest corner of infinite space, time So […]
Still on the Shelf
~~~~~ Still on the Shelf A dog-eared page in an old book mirrors my mood. Phantom reason, marked as special, I fervently hope for unknown purpose, an unremembered time. Or, accidental, compressed too long, hidden, neglected, fragile, forest and trees, broken off, lost. Handle with care. My life attacks, a whirlwind child. Imperious Nature, unaware, […]
Today
~~~~~ Today, I stopped for coffee, don’t we all? Those of us, at least, who enjoy the taste. This isn’t completely caffeine’s siren call, only to sit, think, to savor, time to waste. I listen to nearby folk talk, and I wonder. How it is that all of us are now right here? Sometimes, I […]
If We Give
~~~~~ When in doubt, I find it is better to whisper than to shout, Not knowing what life’s about, may lead to our final rout. Though, if we don’t dispute, we might learn another route. Distribute the ill-gotten loot, make it better for all, to boot. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is […]
