Dark as Distance
Dark as Distance ~~~~~ Softly now, we whisper, walk along a winding clifftop path. Under sun or stars, day or night, we chat, calm, confident Cradled in the touch, the strength of holding each other’s hands. Cold mist off the ocean stings our arms, but we are warm, together Then, as if by chance, we […]
Soaked
Soaked ~~~~~ We went out for a walk and shopping. Humid, rain promised, hot and sweaty. I am temporarily not wearing my mask, Though my car window’s open to the air. Vehicle parks beside me, a pickup truck And on goes my mask, soaked in sweat. I see people passing, who don’t believe, No mask, […]
Not in Truth
Not in Truth ~~~~~ What are the many reasons We tell ourselves each day? The reasons which explain How and why we live our lives. Can we reconcile them with truth, Intrinsic truth, not our own? That which is true, despite What we may think, despite Anything we may believe. For belief is only, ever […]
WYGIWYSNISM
WYGIWYSNISM ~~~~~ What You Get Is What You See. Need I Say More? “Is that the best you could do?” one of them asked. “I think I would do much better, if you just relaxed. “Maybe you would do better, if you’d learned how.” “A fine time you have picked to think of that now. […]

See more of my creative offerings and opinions […]
No Longer
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 […]
Ancient History
Ancient History ~~~~~ Sitting and waiting for a doctor’s appointment On video in my armchair at home, who knew? Someday history will say what all this meant, But long past the lifetimes of either me or you. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment […]
Light Hidden Within — Part Two
Light Hidden Within ~~~~~ Part Two I plead with you, us and everyone. We spurn strangers, each we hate. Those we fear, as we were taught. Learn now, all humankind worthy, Our value is innate, not only profit For those who have no compassion, Dictating to us because we let them. We must not allow […]
