I’ve Heard
~~~~~ Certainty, it’s said, is fleeting. It may vanish upon meeting or offer you a warm greeting. You hope it will last a lifetime. pray it becomes your lifeline. Most lose it, such a rife crime. It’s ephemeral, so it’s precious, though it can turn you vicious. Believe it, it’s gone, suspicious. Belief is no […]
Cheap Bead on a Necklace of Stars
~~~~~ When will we say enough is more than enough? Will it be before our world, we cry, “time out?” Might we be told, exit the stage, leave our stuff? Never convinced we saw what our play’s about? Where have we gone wrong in the deeps of time? Perhaps, a wrong person took a rock […]
Circular
~~~~~ My heart seeks answers to questions I do not know, know to ask or answer. Bemusing, I do not understand understanding. I cannot ponder, wonder which, I cannot conceive tenants of faith I do not believe. Existence, nonexistence, always, ever, always never. Everywhere, nowhere, Yet, always, always in the center. A pawn of fate, […]
Je Vous Suis
~~~~~ Radio crooned, what if god were one of us? Question a somewhat older pop song asked. It makes me wonder, what if god is all of us? And we fail to notice, since we all go masked Still, we tell ourselves we know only truth, everybody else only playing make-believe. But don’t let anyone […]
Anticipation
~~~~~ I sing the tune without notes, life, air, water, love and hate. Urgent laughter, birds and boats, indrawn breath which all await. Star birth and truth glowing, shadows contrast, seeds scatter, wafting aloft; a river flowing, small feet, rain go pitter-patter. Glorious crescendo in minor key within, without,, all together. Alone, contained, a stormy […]

My reason to be, no thanks nor blame; my light shines more, as I become less ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know […]
Part and Parcel
~~~~~ Land’s end, is it real or only metaphor? Will it bend, as need will reveal what we’ll use it for? The coastal horizon, undiscovered place where we walk. Will we put a guise on to hide our face or so we don’t balk? The known world, they tell me, is set. I cannot believe […]
Will You?
~~~~~ Who will fill the holes, when all our youth is gone? Who will inhabit our homes, when we are all alone? Who will feed the soil, when flesh rots from bone? Who will seek forgiveness, when no one can atone? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ […]
By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers, we can’t define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; faith in their own unknown eschews […]
Unexpected Wisdom
~~~~~ When children regard war and terror as normal, films, television, video games just the siren’s call. Can we wonder how fucked-up life has become; reality a child dismembered by a roadside bomb? So grab your toys, run away, find a place to hide, no help, as down the razor-blade of life we slide. Our […]
