Performance, Like Life
Performance, Like Life ~~~~~ Like life, ready or not, this guitarist jumps right in without introduction. Like life, he struggles, even if he has played before. We all study and play, learning the myriad songs and parts, recurring themes, mistakes echoing. We practice, hoping to grow into our music, know it in our bones, hearts. […]
Will Be
Will Be ~~~~~ Do they believe it does not matter, any of the evil things that they do, certain balance will not find them? Those now on high will be laid low. Why can’t we remember life before? Hard to change, that we don’t know. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, […]
To Laugh and Cry
To Laugh and Cry ~~~~~ I would be the blazing lantern to guide us, when darkness comes. Not the stubby candle that melts away to nothing, to be soon gone. Nothing left, no thought, no song. I would be the compass to lead us, If I knew where we were in bright sunlight, saw the […]
All, Together
All, Together ~~~~~ I have shown you wonders beyond imagination, revealed to you the smallest parts of my being. I find you within me, yet, you don’t understand languages to, of creation too gross and too subtle to speak to you. I will guide a minor poet’s hand. I am every drop of water and […]
The Spaces Between
The Spaces Between ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shall we talk then, shall we sing, discuss Rachmaninoff, analyze Proust, remembrance of future things? Will you tell me no one knows what tomorrow brings? As musicians fingers fly, over strings, along the keys; quickly, quickly, come listen. […]
Desire Driven
Desire Driven ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Is the constant testimony to our inanity, desire driven, to reject our homogeneity? Does our need to think that we’re special push us far beyond our living threshold? Will a sudden need to flee make us gape, Push us […]
Circular
~~~~~ My heart seeks answers to questions I do not know, know to ask or answer. Bemusing, I do not understand understanding. I cannot ponder, wonder which, I cannot conceive tenants of faith I do not believe. Existence, nonexistence, always, ever, always never. Everywhere, nowhere, Yet, always, always in the center. A pawn of fate, […]
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 […]
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 […]
