The Elements
~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the fear of destruction, as powerful as war. Do you hear the crackling […]
All Because
~~~~~ I feel I can make sense of the world for a day and maybe one day more. Is it all because fingertips whorled, made getting up today feel so poor? I’ve much more than I had planned, but I have much less than I dreamed. What I have’s fire the flames I fanned. My […]
No More
~~~~~ A dolorous dirge, hidden in the depths of space and time. Time the liar. Faster, slower, changeable, not the same for you and me.

Choose to Live
~~~~~ When you think life has given you the right to carp, moan and whine, that life gives others a better view, leave pity outside, you will be fine. If you have problems quite severe, Your life won’t be better in a sewer. You are sick, tired, rent is in arrears, attitude, distance from trier […]
Time and Age
~~~~~ We pretend we have conquered mountains, that we’re stronger than a cold north wind. We tell ourselves the land and sea are ours, Yet nature says we’re wrong over and over. We sneer that we were primitive, in caves. Yet, they lasted far longer than we, so far. Nor did they trash the world, […]
