Life Upside Down
My most recent verse was written with my notebook upside down It reads rather darkly, but I don’t think that could be the reason why The implications could be staggering enough to make me frown All the times I’ve moped and moaned, gnashed my teeth and cried Remember all the mawkish cheer, eyes twinkling, sung […]
Hope the Dark Not Too Deep
When any morning dawns blacker than the night Dazed, you feel as if you have not slept one wink Yet out your windows see a day blindingly bright You wonder what the hell you are meant to think Striving to maintain a life in balance will be hard Some days find you deep in the […]
Questions
What questions should I ask? Which “what if” should I imagine? What if I could Wave my magic wand Change the world At least Change my world Am I wise Wise enough To remake the world Is this even The question I should ask, We should ask? Should I state instead What I believe How […]
So Far, So Good
Paint, brushes and a blank canvas, where should I begin? Decide what areas stay empty; what should be filled in I can imagine my painting on a second-hand shop floor Obscured by who knows what, banged into by the door Maybe I’ll tickle someone’s fancy, so on the wall I’ll know Yet, I hope I’ll […]
How High?

He walked through town, Late one afternoon, Wearing a Cheshire smile I asked him, “why?” And he said, “Come walk with me a while.” We strolled on, Looking for a dark street, A lawn, an open field Somewhere we could stand Or sit, or lie Manufactured light Obscured, occulted A phrase turned oddly, Thought, I […]
Reason to Ask
Let us sit down quietly, gathered all together Let us speak of what’s vital, wind and weather Listen to the trees that shade us, are our home Bless beings we eat, wear, the grass and loam Sit peacefully, talking rarely with gentle voices Opening our very being to embrace all choices Acknowledge our connection to […]
The Turning Wheel
This moment, now This turn on the wheel Of our universal unicycle Of linear time I understand Being everywhere And nowhere In all places All the time Everyone, everything Only our vantage Changes So persecutors now Become persecuted The hunter hunted Prey the predator As the wheel turns We changes positions Sometimes on top Sometimes […]
What We Always Know
When I think about beauty, I confess What makes me happy looks the best Bright colors, harmony, truth or jest Although I also like much of the rest Think minor chords as well as tragedy May impart more truth than reality We survive tempest to feel tranquility It’s all just on or off, to be […]
Without Exception
Minds, when open like a blooming flower Pollinated by ideas each and every hour Open eyes can only see but not perceive Closed minds neither, unable to receive Pen marries paper, sparks a new flame Flame marries taper, fire briefly tamed Bow caresses strings, tender as true love Ethereal music brings down from above Brush […]
