In the Meantime
In the Meantime ~~~~~ I will write you a masterful painting; And paint you a most intriguing story. I will crawl till I walk, walk till I run. Yet, at times, I can’t what it’s for see. How could I know; where could I go? I have so little to be where I’ve been. When […]
Close Your Eyes
Close Your Eyes ~~~~~ What will we find in the future That follows us from the past? Will it bring us sickness or cure; Do you think that it might last? Do we see if we close our eyes, Bright stars sail the heavens? Which ingredients help us rise; Drinks we’ll make with leaven. […]
Inside Out, Outside In
Inside Out, Outside In ~~~~~ Penury repeats repetition Upon repetition, until Someone tries to run In the night. Pursuit Follows, measured, steadfast. The chase continues, Faster and faster, until The hounds outrun the fox And it is difficult to distinguish predator from prey ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is […]
Any Story
Any Story ~~~~~ Winding down the lane or Winding up the stair. Am I alone in this pursuit for? Is there someone there? Can I see them beside me? Do I believe them far away? Is it faith, a new way to see, Or what all the asses bray? Maybe these two are the same. […]
What to Seek
What to Seek ~~~~~ In a church done in the 1890’s style, I’m told. Should that make me smile, Question all truths I’ve held awhile? Do these questions have any answer; That’ll matter to another generation? Did I think I’d find my chance here, Hope I would be forgiven all my sin? I don’t believe […]
If We Were to Cease
If We Were to Cease ~~~~~ 1816 I feel the fool tonight, though certain I hope we will crush in its birth My words, sentiments echo The aristocracy of our moneyed corporations Statesmen, leaders long dead Which dare already to challenge Why should now be otherwise Our government to a trial […]
I Do Not Understand
I Do Not Understand ~~~~~ I respect everyone’s right to believe whatever they choose… Though I consider myself a spiritual person and the universe spiritually enlivened, I do not understand belief in god, any god. Personally, it seems a concept we use to explain what we cannot understand. We use such an imagined being or […]
Feelings
Feelings ~~~~~ Strolling through a meadow, Watching clouds glide by, Lost within the jumble Of my brain, no true thought. My being teaching me Sometimes it’s preferable To simply walk. No mission no destination. Living in the world Instead of fighting to remain Separate. As if we Have the power to disconnect, To live as […]
Silently Across the Night
Silently Across the Night ~~~~~ Moving silently across the night-dark earth, Fires burn ever, Fluttering banners, gold and red, to mark the dead, Ever brighter, Projected onto shifting smoke, Ever hotter. An ever-changing, tattered screen, white, gray, black, Consuming all. No animal, no insect, no blade of grass remains For eyes to see. Glimpses through […]
Cherish Hope
Cherish Hope ~~~~~ I challenge you to cherish hope for a day. Reject all violence, everywhere, find a way. No press, socially reported evil worldwide, Here or abroad, in the city or countryside. Refuse to fear bullies, choose not to fight. Gruesome deeds lose power without sight. I urge you to step away from politics, […]
