Morning Becomes Celestial
~~~~~ Breath away sleep In the glimmering dawn Roosters crow Like clarion horns Some have been Long awake Secret lovers Their leave to take Mothers, fathers Children to shake Night terrors Long passed away Snagged and held On the sharp edges Of breaking day Powerless, forgotten As an egg’s yellow yolk Hidden in darkness Until […]
Now and Then
~~~~~ In the never was the always and the ever was. It was ever never always, and it always never was. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Perspective
~~~~~ I’d happily spend all of my days as nights, If I could only live all of my nights as days. What’s the problem someone random says? They are but labels; call them what you like. Trees, I believe, may well be dogs or birds. While dogs are railroads and birds flowers. Seconds could last […]
Ask Only One Question
~~~~~ Give me now the cheerfulness and fearlessness of our youth, Back when we knew they were our lives, embodied our truth. Towels we used to make super hero capes with paper masks; Innocence our strength to conquer all our Sisyphithian tasks. Heroes all, though one day as Indians, the next day cowboys. Imagination’s fires […]
No Longer Ours
~~~~~ The end of an era, so-called. Not the end of all, perhaps. Unknown for now, until Some future now, connected; Contiguous, not, in theory, continuous. Then, is that us, gone? Merely an era in time, between, No relationship but time, flowing, A rolling stream, raging River, fed by tributaries or, one Embodied in rich […]
From Time to Time

Scattered
~~~~~ Scattered thoughts drop, skittering ‘round my fevered brain, Uncertain, eager, undecided, driven, unknown, alone. So many paths, all taken more than once, divided and diverted. I seem only able understand that which I do not understand. Scattered nature, random, happenstance, unrealized patterns; Rain falling, misting, sprinkling, driving, no cause but gravity, Engenders life in […]
May Be
~~~~~ The plaintive cry of the wounded hart, A tender maiden’s soon broken heart, From the first wound of Cupid’s dart, May be the end; that’s where it starts. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See […]
Life
~~~~~ Life, some say.is short and sweet. Yet some say life is long and bitter. Now we can ignore life complete, Because someone invented Twitter. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. See more of my creative […]
Dressed in Motley Camouflage
~~~~~ Dressed in motley camouflage, balanced on a cusp of time, where we may tip one way or the other. Fall back to fight our dirty wars, or create a new world sublime, where all live in peace together. No, conflict will not end when we put away our fatal toys; we’ll argue, contest in […]
