Room With a View
~~~~~ I look around the room where sit and See memories, touchstones to the past. Reminders of the present time, of love For those who make the view special, Who share the view and make it richer. Some who have gone; I’ve never met Them, yet they helped to form people I love. Although we […]
Truth Finds a Way
~~~~~ A hall of repeating patterns is revealed, Many lines, squares, columns and capitals, Straight, undulating, solo and combined Will define our world in shapes and lines. Like Booker’s seven basic story plots these Shapes and lines found limited and finite, Until a magical combination, equals creation. World shown new, as it’s never seen before. […]
Resonance
~~~~~ Does the human voice, Beautiful, resonant, Moving, harsh,. Croaking, damaged, Call to us, Bring to us, Wisdom, stories We cannot imagine, Make-up ourselves; Neither exact Nor strictly accurate But more true Than reality itself? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let […]
Random Thoughts on a Hot-skillet Mind
~~~~~ Way late on a west-coast afternoon, I think it a month or two past June. Could I succeed despite many tries, When time crawls, when time flies? No matter what we choose, decide, Deal with some you cannot abide. Relatives and some called friends, You decide to enjoy it, or pretend. The news grows […]
Whether Stranger or Guest
~~~~~ The firmament piles dark on dark in the east. Dark clouds harried by storms from the west. If the stranger at the feast, or honored guest, All will stand equal, when we are laid to rest. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment […]
Merging Emerging
~~~~~ Where is the inspiration for poets, Wordwrights, artists, composers, Choreographers, others who sting I neglected to mention them now? Will another’s expression reach us, Inside us, to draw forth our spirit? For me, it is music, spoken word, Creativity, creation, what’s around Me, the way the wind blows, trees, Standing as they have stood, […]
In Concert
~~~~~ To make every moment a work of art, Seeing truth, each second of our day. Live as if no time is left, embrace all. Comprehend magic in the mundane. Feel music as a pianist bobs and bows, Rocks back and forth like Ray Charles. Not blindness, because music is inside; Dance soul in our […]
You Might Be Right
~~~~~ I wager you believe that I cannot write Something to make you think and laugh Even though I admit you might be right, Picture dear leader with the head of a giraffe. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know […]
Epiphany
~~~~~ Artists and writers may be tortured souls Constantly searching for a way to express That is so cogent and so clear we awake. Oftentimes creatives in front of the curve. They create a vision to show you, tell you, Difficult to show on the page, the canvas, In the dance steps, notes of the […]
The Cynic, Silent Killer
~~~~~ Boots on the ground come marching, marching. Boots on the ground come marching one by one. Boots on the ground taught to appear steely eyed, While they wield the arsenal that’s been supplied. Boots on the ground come marching, marching. Boots on the ground come marching two by two. There to support law enforcement; […]
