Light Hidden Within
Light Hidden Within ~~~~~ Part One Looking for words that will tell A story: who we were and who We became, after long illness. The first part I know, as do you, At least this moment, as I write These words, chasing meaning, So we all choose cogent change. I hope we hear the sane […]
Of Course
Of Course ~~~~~ Why, of course, it’ll cost a lot. It cannot be any good, if not. Do you really believe this true, Just a bill of goods sold to you? Would you matter either way? Would it matter any given day? It cannot matter that I can see; You know, never comes for free. […]
Cannot Imagine

What Time? What Hope?
What Time? What Hope? ~~~~~ Being greedy In small steps. Grabbing what, What you want, As though It’s yours, By right Or rite. Casting bones, Waving feathers, Odds and ends Imbued with power.

Can You Dig It?
Can You Dig It? ~~~~~ So, have I come to writing lists Of things I want and need to do? Deleting them one by one, or this And that added to tomorrow too. Have I gotten done what I hoped; My tasks, merely marking time, It’s my best to say I matter most. As if […]
