People in the Clouds
People in the Clouds ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Painting, oil, acrylic, water, color to attract our eye, we may travel to exotic places, without a need to fly. Meet people from far away, in geography or in time, marvel at their talent, […]
Get Along With You
Get Along With You ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation, and world over wealth. ~~~~~ All of us, pawns in a world full of sound and fury. With overtones, undertones, key changes, abrupt screams, staccato bullets muffled by frail flesh, silenced forever. Leaving rivulets red, brains, gore, guts, […]
Pointed Regard
Pointed Regard ~~~~~ It is time to put the people over politics, country over capitulation, and world over wealth. ~~~~~ What balancing act, magician’s sleight of hand, do we use to simply live, make our lives feel grand? Who do we fool, do you suppose? Ourselves, others, no one? Do we merely pretend we […]
Rapidly
Rapidly ~~~~~ It is time to put the people over politics, country over capitulation, and world over wealth. ~~~~~ How rapidly all our days wing away, no matter how we measure time, its sway. In the cosmic scale, our time is less than not. We’ll be gone before we know what we’ve got. ~~~~~ Peace […]
The Spaces Between
The Spaces Between ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shall we talk then, shall we sing, discuss Rachmaninoff, analyze Proust, remembrance of future things? Will you tell me no one knows what tomorrow brings? As musicians fingers fly, over strings, along the keys; quickly, quickly, come listen. […]
All So Simple
~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ What’s a person to do? When every day there’s something new, war and violence, feeling blue. So, what’s a person supposed to do? Rich fools spout madness, though some agree, guns for all, that’s best. Don’t you see? Braggarts and […]
We Would Rather
We Would Rather ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ We might walk in beauty but are the night, because, we would rather kill each other. We listen to those who preach peace and love. We would rather kill each other. We are taught to love our neighbors […]
Projected (I hope)
Projected (I hope) ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shades projected on a wall by searing brightness. A row of lipsticks, twisted open in shades of red, miniature missiles show all that’s left of us, less. Broken, no Rosetta stone translates sacred dead. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, […]
Invisibility
Invisibility ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Hello? Can you hear me? Can you see me? I hope you can because I fear I’ve become invisible. It’s not everywhere or all the time. It’s not at home or when I’m out in the world. In fact, it’s […]
Ere We Fall
Ere We Fall ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Who knows what we’ve lost in the cause of war? Music, art, novels, plays, poems, films and more. Bach, DaVinci, Cassatt, Monet, fodder of kings, Shakespeare, Elliott, Beethoven all gone missing. Would we find saviors numbered with the […]
