Resonance
Does the human voice Beautiful, resonant Moving, harsh Croaking, damaged Call to us Bring to us Wisdom, stories We cannot imagine Make-up ourselves Neither exact Nor strictly accurate But more true Than reality itself
Daily Shuffle
I’m turning over words and phrases Like flipping a random deck of cards I am finding only deuces and treyses Seeking wholeness, but finding shards Searching for an ace or king or queen My chance to take the winning trick Not reality, reflection, but in between Cards upon a table; everything clicks Like magic: practiced […]
Your Life or Mine?
Who could predict that it would rain On the day I met you, that one time With newspapers held over my head So you would kindly offered to share Your umbrella, with its Caillbotte art It might have been Monet’s waterlilies I don’t quite remember, except we ran Under the awning; we talked, rain fell […]
Another Day
Another day I have not accomplished What I hoped I might do when it began Still and all, at days end, I’d done some My book of life turns another the page Many goals, projects I’ve in the queue Marching 2 x 2, 16 dozen fight to get in I know where to go with […]

Misunderstanding
Any who think we’ve only this chance Fear eternal damnation; you toe the line Seeds of limitation sown you shall reap Must you choose to drag the rest down So do the impossible, at least once a day This doesn’t have to be before breakfast Laugh out loud and a joke’s power steal Smile at […]
Next
In the wee small hours at noon one day I turn on darkness; the sky grows bright That night I polish the sun so it gleams Each thing I do, simply because of you I walk the widest ocean to swim uphill Turn myself inside out, if you love me Smash time’s hourglass, so please […]
