Come Away
~~~~~ To the storytellers Sky writers Mud pie makers Sand diggers Castle builders World painters Moviemakers Deep sea divers Wise women Learned men Lore keepers Truth seekers Winsome weepers Promise breakers Liars, libertines Singing suns Dancing atoms Once and future Past and gone Now Plaintive notes Fraught phrases Bird song Feet set tapping Mind set […]

A New Way
~~~~~ My eyes stare past my mother’s words. Then, I gently place the tattered book Of her version down Upon my roughhewn table, Away from my stubby candle’s flame. Contemplate what I read and know by heart. ‘Talk to me, foretell my future. Mired beneath murky clouds, Shades of black and gray. No longer bright […]

In This Instant
~~~~~ Wherever humans have been, there has been war In this instant there is time to change how we are Wherever humans have been, there has been peace In this instant there is time to let all conflict cease Wherever humans have been, we ward community In this instant there is time to know all […]
No Longer
~~~~~ I can no longer write of hate Not even to decry it I can only write of love Though our actions belie it I must not chew on pain and fear Though daily on the menu I must change my diet As I cannot change my venue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, […]
