Circle of Life
Circle of Life ~~~~~ This moment, now, This turn on the wheel, Of our universal unicycle Of linear time. I understand Being everywhere And nowhere, In all places, All the time, Everyone, everything. Only our vantage Changes. So, persecutors now, Become persecuted, The hunter hunted, Prey the predator. As the wheel turns We changes positions. […]
Beneath the Grass
Beneath the Grass ~~~~~ What would it feel like, any fun, to live to be one hundred? My imagination says it would be less fun and more dread. With luck, still shuffling about, able to pee upon my shoes. not rolled around as deadwood, by someone I don’t choose. Perhaps I will be non-compos mentis […]
Anywhere
Anywhere ~~~~~ This was somebody’s plan for our future, new homes full of new, smiling people. Happy folks, without care; I can’t find ‘em anywhere. This grim portrait is of the middleclass, not home alas. I look around, folk I knew, think it might be me or you. Think we’re gone for good. ~~~~~ Peace […]
Searching for You
Searching for You ~~~~~ Morning obscured by swollen clouds, rain-slicked streets offer no reflection. I trudge on, collar high to ward damp, as I round a corner, searching for you. Frigid gale, shreds the vaporous veil, ebbs, whispering, wishing, revealing, our spinning dome of stars, galaxies, modest corner of infinite space-time Dazzling, radiant, luminous, lucent, […]
Turning a Blind Eye
Turning a Blind Eye ~~~~~ I think that car is flirting with me, it honks its horn, blinks its lights, no people anywhere that can see, Will I get a ride to see the sights? I walk closer, make it sure it saw. It’s mad, horn honks, lights blink. I run, afraid, it will bring […]
All, Together
All, Together ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being. I find you within me, yet, you don’t understand languages to, of creation too gross and too subtle to speak to you. I will guide a minor poet’s hand. I am every drop of water and […]
Ways of Seeing
Ways of Seeing ~~~~~ See the thinking man. Do you wonder what he thinks, or do you not care? Note: I have started a new series of digital art pieces, I am calling the Faces Project. I’m intrigued by what I’ve found and will be exploring their possibilities and posting them at intervals, with haiku […]
Before We Know
Before We Know ~~~~~ How would we have turned out, if we’d had four arms and hands, instead of the measly two we got? Could this be true on distant sands? Other beings like this in our cosmos, if we ever chance to meet, say hello, one-hand shake insult, you suppose? I expect a long […]
Questions
Questions ~~~~~ What questions should I ask? Which “what if” should I imagine? What if I could wave my magic wand, change the world? At least, change my world. Am I wise, wise enough, to remake the world? Is this even the question I should ask, we should ask? Should I state instead what I […]
Ere I Depart

I need to express me, ere I depart. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See […]
