Hear the Future
~~~~~ I see the sea going on forever Obsessively pawing the shore. Know it, of course is Luna-sea Despite how near or how far. We respond because we must; To refuse beyond our powers. We will linger until we’re dust Over the space of a few hours Will we see space and time one? We […]
Farewell – A First World Lament
Farewell – A First World Lament Philias the Lesser ~~~~~ Farewell to our freedom; It is no longer for sale. It was sold for a pittance, Don’t bother to weep and wail. Like all living creatures, Our estates rise, and they fall. We say it’s not our fault, at all. Farewell to our homes, And […]

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid, Redux

~~~~~ I have shared this post twice. The first time in 2013 and the second at the beginning of 2019. These questions and answers seem, to me, more important than ever. ~~~~~ Questions What would you do if you could do anything? Are you sure? Who would you be if you could be anyone? Do […]
Act Like It
~~~~~ Walking along tree-shaded paths I have never walked upon before. Not unknown, except to me, now. Smell of redwoods, carried to me On a fresh breeze, the warm sun. In the vague distance, the ocean, Perhaps, although too hazy to tell. I know it’s the right direction but Far too far to walk, breaking […]
All Life Matters
~~~~~ The spiderwebs clinging to the outside mirrors On both sides of my car, expresses tenacity, A right to life no less important than my own . When I wash the webs away, the spiders stay. It makes me think we must reframe our vision. We need to realize that all human lives matter. Red, […]
