Awakened?

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Awakened from or into a nebulous scene, I wonder if I have drawn dusk or dawn. A cabin in the distant burns a single light. Fog fills the valleys between stepped hills, the birth or dearth of endless possibilities. Do I see a first light of night, […]

Into the Wilderness

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Coming from the crowded places where people abide, I forget the vast stretches of open ground I see when I fly. It looks almost imagined it’s so enormous, with occasional straight lines, the sign of people. Perhaps, that’s the sure sign we don’t work with nature, follow […]

The Angels Came

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ All the dead grasses linger, yet, they still speak to life. Reflecting our own toil, our own strife. Hidden in the sky and the ground, the secrets of living and life that abound. Tell me you love me and I will be happy knowing you’ve found me. […]

Hold the Sun

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Soft and sonorous, the world sings, brings forth life in great fecund masses. What passes for daily existence fraught with cooperation and resistance, each to its sphere? Even as natural as the moon. Unlikely, until we see the patterns. Hold the lanterns before the darkness–stark and limited […]

Either Way

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Haplessly, helplessly, I sit and ponder my existence, like watching a traffic light, waiting for it to change, giving me permission to go. Yet, only I am stopping myself. Such is life. We may follow rules or ignore them. But we control our own actions. Not only […]

Our Longing Gaze

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Power and glory sing the same. Bring to me the peace of plenty, the songs of angels and demons. Do you believe not the demons sing? Some would joke that this torment enough to make Hell more than hideous to behold. Who needs fire and brimstone, with […]

Constantly Reinvent

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Do you wonder at the state of your world? Not the world, but only your small portion. I do, though sometimes I don’t think of it exactly that way. That’s for someone else to express. The stress of my days and ways. My love, my life, self-made […]

Only Reality

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Do you feel encouraged in your daily life, or are you left to wonder why you’re here? Do you have someone at home who will tell you that you have done good, maybe even made a difference in other lives? Not everyone needs such blessings to make […]

As Only I Know

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Oh, how I wander by the stream, which runs through the forest. Birds flit from tree to tree and I wonder what’s to become of me. Where will I go? When I leave the woods. Where will my gods carry me? Should I care, or must I […]

Once Again

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Lingering within the past, the future, Who’s to know what thoughts might be going forward? Going backwards, what will I likely see? Will it be beauty? Will it be terror? Will I reap the error of my days and ways? What will you tell me that I […]
