Stepping Out
All the myriad steps we take in life Number into millions, I’ve no doubt No matter where we go, what we see Many never realize what life’s about
Heirs Apparent
All the things I might have done, or seen, or known All the beings I might have been, become While strolling along a quiet esplanade The mottled green sea sparkles blue, white A painter hoping to capture this moment Holds tightly against a suddenly boisterous wind Checking the time on an antique pocket watch His […]
By Your Choices
I grasp at my time, my life, my being Like the blind men and the elephant What I perceive not what I’m seeing It may be my fire’s only on my pants Chasing after truth by concocting lies Mystic brews that obscure and reveal All my victories, failures and my tries Perchance to illuminate or […]
