Masterpiece
masterpiece n. 1. A person’s greatest piece of work, as in art. 2. Anything done with masterly skill. I believe most if not all people understand what is meant by the word masterpiece. Though our definitions may vary, we all have an idea of what we think it means. In the west, we associate […]
While Waiting for a Late Plane
Strangest thing I’ve seen; I think it’s nuts. Airplane seats get smaller to fit bigger butts. While Waiting for a Late Plane While in Cleveland, waiting for an incoming plane which was late and destined to be our outgoing plane, it occurred to me that waiting at a gate in an airport is like almost […]
Thoughts About Winning
Everyone I know likes to win, games, contests, lotteries or almost anything. Winning makes us believe the universe or the (G)god or gods we believe in have noticed us. More, not only have they noticed us, they approve. I’ve never quite grasped the concept that some supreme being, responsible for the entire universe, spared much […]
Scattered
Scattered thoughts drop, skittering ‘round my fevered brain Uncertain, eager, undecided, driven, unknown, alone So many paths, all taken more than once, divided and diverted I seem only able understand that I do not understand Scattered nature, random, happenstance, unrealized patterns Rain falling, misting, sprinkling, driving, no cause but gravity Engenders life in barren […]

In the deepest darkest depths of night When all your thoughts shriek danger, fright When evil looms within your sight Dawn will come When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite When storm-dark clouds bring sleet and snow and ice And every day you live feels black as night Spring will come When every urge […]

To any who have wondered where I’ve been of late online (I hope there will be one or two) perhaps the following verse will explain. I have been working on other writings, though still trying to edit them into my best form. I’ve also spent some time painting digitally, while I wait for a surgically […]
Life Until Now
Life Once, I lived a life Such as he, Who sat and pondered Endlessly. Turned each moment Upon its head Abandoned quickly When it proved dead. Convinced each battle fought End in winning, damn the cost. Ever only to regain myself Who wondered, wandered, lost. Until Nourishing love illuminated spirit, Encouraged me to grow, To […]
