Laid Low
Sitting here and succumbing to the idiot box While doing my best an idiot not to become All the world’s knowledge at my fingertips I do believe that that would be really dumb Am I deaf to reason, blind to illumination?

Breakfast Anyone?
Breath away sleep In the glimmering dawn Roosters crow Like clarion horns Some have been Long awake Secret lovers Their leave to take Mothers, fathers Children to shake Night terrors Long passed away Snagged and held On the sharp edges Of breaking day Powerless, forgotten As an egg’s yellow yolk Hidden in darkness Until the […]
Point Counterpoint
Patterns, all is patterns The world over We struggle to comprehend Seeing faces In the rug Monsters, creatures, demons In chipped paint Puddles on the street Yet, we deny Or try Abnegate such apparitions As fancy only Too frightened To believe It might be another Reality Until art Intrudes in all forms Myriad manifestations Music, […]
That’s What I Think

Ain’t We Great?
Words are paint Paint becomes pixels Stone is chipped Chips in computers Memory is stored To interpret life Full of knowledge We but vaguely ken As each and all Seek understanding Artists all Seek to reveal As they create Ain’t we great? _________________ See more of my creative offerings at: Philip Brent Digital Art Brent […]
May We Have This Dance?
When all becomes equal Universal leavening So-called heat death We avoid catastrophe Sacrifice also glory Filling and fulfilling Sublime Such sameness Falls together No longer galaxies Stars, planets, people No music of the spheres Clank and clamor of life Lost within Undifferentiated chaos In and in and in Chaos pulls together Grows smaller, denser Seeking […]
All Our Winding Ways
What are the ways We navigate life Paths we follow What we choose Life chooses for us Locked in Sterile cubicles No matter How, how much We strive To create Make them ours Locked in To desks To dos and don’ts Our duties Trapped in cells Apps, smart phones Toys and gadgets Budgets, burdens Balls […]
