Life Courageous
~~~~~ What gifts given, received would, within my words, sing Tripping lightly from my brain, my heart, my tongue Able to express the subtle hopes of anything and everything The true name of all the life and death I live among Would my hearing need to be honed so fine I’d hear the stars in […]
Want Vs. Care
~~~~~ For want of a seed, the shoot was lost. For want of a shoot, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the flower was lost. For want of a flower, the bee was lost. For want of a bee, the plant was lost. For want of a plant, the food was lost. […]
What Need?
~~~~~ I heard a question most recently, which, I must say puzzled me. Seriously, someone asked, you see, what do we have any need, jeez, for tigers to walk among the trees? And while I pondered, I realized, I could never, ever compromise. So, seriously, I ask you now, why, what need have tigers wandering […]
This, Too, Shall Pass
~~~~~ What distinguishes, creates demarcation between living and life? Can they be divided or shared, like pieces of pie cut with a knife? Or. only the viscera of being alive, breathing and eating and shit. Simply work, chores, needful daily obligations; that cannot be it. In relationships you always hear such a lot of talk […]

What you label yourself is much less important than what you believe. Can you tell me why you believe, what you believe and why […]
Life Until Now
~~~~~ Life Once, I lived a life Such as he, who sat and pondered endlessly. Turned each moment upon its head, abandoned quickly when it proved dead. Convinced each battle fought end in winning, damn the cost. Ever, only to regain myself, who wondered, wandered, lost. Until Nourishing love illuminated spirit, encouraged me to grow, […]
Sense is Lost
~~~~~ Still and all, I wonder at sounds heard in the depths of night, and if they are the sorts of things that might give me a fright? Not the ghoulies, no, nor the ghousties, nor the long-leggedy beasties, but the bombs that go boom in the light, The ratta-tat-tat of rapid-fire weapons and bloviated […]
The Elements Redux
I posted this recently, then discovered I’d left off the last verse. ~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the […]
On the Home Front
~~~~~ We brand ourselves, the land of the brave, home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on a bloody spree While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry Righteous people who never sing the song of them, only of me It should […]
