Who We Believe
~~~~~ Pause now, take time to walk along city streets. Stroll down brassy, brightly-lit boulevards, Preening, peering at all our distorted reflections From shop windows, blank-eyed passers-by. Captured in and by the lenses of CCTV cameras. Do not stare nor act furtive, collar upturned, hide, Do not ever let them suspect what lurks inside. Somewhere, […]

Does It Matter?
~~~~~ Our world, full of liars; some are good and some bad. Decide, does it really matter? Storytellers, since ancient times, have spun multiple stories, which never ever were. Perhaps they happened not in the way the tales were told, adding drama, for effect, So as to seek the deepest truth of who we are, […]
I Choose Peace
~~~~~ When in our life we reach an age, a need, a trial, a test, the razor’s edge, Delving deeper, pondering, reflecting, remembering, planning, hoping Denying, angry, we bargain, we grieve while craving peace, acceptance Until we understand acceptance is a choice, with nothing and much to say I wonder the reason for my being, […]
That’s What I Think
~~~~~ God’s feet I imagine Would not fit In my backyard Nor in the town Where I live Being so large God must be clumsy Or, perhaps, allergic To us, to people Do god’s sneezes Bring storms Mayhap god trips Steps into the ocean Causing rough seas Floods and tsunamis Eating suns, novae Hot breath […]
Grow Silent, Listen, Hear
~~~~~ From the Minor musings of Phileas the Lesser I wonder if I shall ever find Wonder, magic, all together? Not bits and bobs, flotsam Scattered through my life, Apprehended by my perception. Expressed through my creativity. In our world, our universe, Put together just so, Where life rises and life falls, Each in proper […]
Come Away
~~~~~ To the storytellers Sky writers Mud pie makers Sand diggers Castle builders World painters Moviemakers Deep sea divers Wise women Learned men Lore keepers Truth seekers Winsome weepers Promise breakers Liars, libertines Singing suns Dancing atoms Once and future Past and gone Now Plaintive notes Fraught phrases Bird song Feet set tapping Mind set […]
Also Already
~~~~~ Now, it has long since begun, No matter what you were told. It’s also already over and done, Portends nova hot, biting cold. ~~~~~ 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 offerings […]
A New Way
~~~~~ My eyes stare past my mother’s words. Then, I gently place the tattered book Of her version down Upon my roughhewn table, Away from my stubby candle’s flame. Contemplate what I read and know by heart. ‘Talk to me, foretell my future. Mired beneath murky clouds, Shades of black and gray. No longer bright […]
Despite Expectation
~~~~~ Could it be that I have found and lost my way? Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today? Mostly, I have questions, while answers I offer. Neither will make you powerful nor fill a coffer. Does anyone know which questions or answers? The Titanic’s sinking, don’t disturb the dancers. Take me to […]
