Ever Shifting Terrain
Just Hanging ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ The sweet trilling of the flowers, baritone voices from an old grove.

Bees buzz between boles, intent upon the bright […]
Poets May
~~~~~ Poets may have no shame, yet it may beset their mind. Not many can expect fame. A few, plus some by dying. No shame will tell the truth: Cannot control their words, in their age or in their youth. Canary in a mine, other birds. Whether they whisper, shout Likely lost, left upon a […]

We’ve Always Been
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ What in your life is unforgotten? What in your life is never remembered? I always remember when we met although we settled on a date.

Sarabande for Missing Magic, Redux
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Missing magic, miracles all vanished, hidden from everyone. From vast spaces gone. Into unseen minuscule interstices, between atoms disappeared. Despite clues, maps and legends, whispered rumors, whereabouts remained unknown Some mounted quests. Heroes came forth. Solo adventurers, robber’s trusts, fellowships. All trekked far, endured miles uncounted. Summits scaled, […]
We Might Roam
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ O, to see our brilliant world again reflected in ocean’s waters of blue. Sparkling around a dwindling white sail, while wondering where it is wandering. Is it following the wind’s four quarters guided so by an engraved compass rose. Or will it return to a safe harbor? From […]
Once Decided

Far Too Late
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Even when I have much to say, it doesn’t seem to matter as I listen to the pundits, they whine and buzz and natter. Though, I suppose, more people listen to them than to me. So what I have to say doesn’t mean what it means, I see. […]
