No Longer
I can no longer write of hate Not even to decry it I can only write of love Though our actions belie it I must not chew on pain and fear Though daily on the menu I must change my diet As I cannot change my venue ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See more of my creative offerings […]
Still Today
Still today I plan and dream Long years Past, forgotten Perhaps forgiven Rent, riven Rendered mute Memory shifts Slips, loose pebbles Hold your breath Rattle, clatter Hope, pray Quaking, trembling Shifting sands Cease moving Sound silences No babies laugh No ancient sages Share ignored wisdom Until they Themselves Ignore their own Truth and meaning Realizing, […]
Oh Yeah!
(note: The map above show the areas we, the immigrants, divided a land already lived in by the Native American tribes overlaid.) What Donald Trump’s campaign has in common with World Wresting Entertainment and a possible clue to his popularity. I’ve scattered a half dozen quotes below. See if you can guess who said […]

The Rest
Things that are lost may reappear Or never show up at all, my dear Neither rhyme nor reason suffices Will explain our talents and vices Despite what doctors, shrinks say It’s all a mystery, but you will pay Knowledge bubbles up from below A truth we cannot possibly know In the end, wonder what it […]
Let Them Sing
Oh how wonderful, wonderfully odd Our setting for this intimate concert Flute, harp and viola sing and dance In an immense, stone museum gallery Plain, but artful to the towering walls White dressed blocks of quarried stone Above a darker gray stone wainscoting A marble floor, patterns within patterns Stark, modern chrome and resin chairs […]
