Cricket Angels

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I hear the birds singing throughout the yard, the hall, as if they exist in every space, every moment, as indeed they do.

Friction

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ My soul slides through life as if it’s a hot knife passing through a tub of lard. Is that only me I’m thinking of? I would dance as if I had wings to lift me above the vicissitudes of my daily existence. After all, it’s but friction […]

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Trippingly to know with no duress. To come and go somehow express the love I feel and I would share, I would tell you now, if I dared. Given time, I might come to say all the love that within me stays. What debt to love would […]

Your Current Task

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The call comes at an inopportune moment, but the response is equal to the challenge.

As If

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The lark ascends in the morning, more presage of hope than warning, going now into the sky, plying currents invisible to me.

Forever

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Mother gently rocks the cradle, the little one fast asleep as long as the motion doesn’t cease.

What You’ll Learn

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Hurry forward and assume your place. It’s still the same game, the same race. Some will tell you it’s different every time, appearance might suggest another clime. It’s always different, yet always the same, different boards and tokens, the same game. So, step right up and take […]

Will I See It?

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Might I begin to understand my lingering doubt? Spout my wisdom, yet be ignored. My briefest, brightest light deplored. My plight, much too similar to most, the host who fills the world and is as soon forgotten. Like rotten meat and veggies saved too long, belong only […]
