Say What?
~~~~~ What we know and what we think we know, live in constant conflict, a dubious do-si-do. What we believe, will never have to grieve. What we conceive denies what we perceive. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what […]
By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers, we can’t define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; faith in their own unknown eschews […]
Intent Ion
~~~~~ Minuscule beyond imagining, cation meets anion, sudden explosion, screaming outward, all directions, growing, spinning, spiraling into a being vast beyond comprehension. Thirteen point eight billion years alive, expanding, encompassing life, teaching, learning, amazing, baffling, Inexorable. Examining from within, delving diligently, piecing together a totality puzzle, no sample image, unrecognizable wreckage ruins or futures. Concepts, […]
Dry Their Tears
~~~~~ I remember word, that earth would be inherited by the meek I hope that it will happen soon, maybe Wednesday next week I think I could pretend, join them, but then I could not speak I know I would find it difficult if I could never open my beak You may think it odd […]
Our Part
~~~~~ To every age its art. To every art its freedom. We all will play our part. No matter where we’re from. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative offerings and opinions […]
Light, A Distant Vista
~~~~~ Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create, atlas beneath my half sky, inventing my truth in beauty, before I’m late. Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer. When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier. Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth […]
Unseen
~~~~~ I stand high upon the mountaintop My dark, uncertain path obscured Until a sharp, chill wind rises, cuts Shreds my fog-shrouded mind, self, Reveals bright stars, the Milky Way Limns my way through the darkness Familiar yet unknown, a revelation Unsuspected peaks tower above me The last mist vanishes, mere dreams Solitude, silence, contained, […]
Still on the Shelf
~~~~~ Still on the Shelf A dog-eared page in an old book mirrors my mood. Phantom reason, marked as special, I fervently hope for unknown purpose, an unremembered time. Or, accidental, compressed too long, hidden, neglected, fragile, forest and trees, broken off, lost. Handle with care. My life attacks, a whirlwind child. Imperious Nature, unaware, […]
Today
~~~~~ Today, I stopped for coffee, don’t we all? Those of us, at least, who enjoy the taste. This isn’t completely caffeine’s siren call, only to sit, think, to savor, time to waste. I listen to nearby folk talk, and I wonder. How it is that all of us are now right here? Sometimes, I […]
Listening Out Loud
~~~~~ What price sacrifice, what test passed, what good forgone? Do we know what to choose, if we’ve travelled far enough? Are we alone in deepest space or do we race the setting sun? That cannot be, the glint of unshed tears in your eyes, a bluff, your calculated actions, all designed to elicit tender […]
