Live In
‘Tis a gift to be simple and uncomplicated |No bartered existence to prove we’re alive Sit silently, existence within contemplated No more true separation than bee and hive Appearances deceive, it’s all grand illusion Alone, the same centers, edges and middles So rapid, intricate that we live in confusion While the chorus relaxes, sings and […]
The Other Shoe
In times which try you, foil your plans Do you hold on tightly with both hands Sink beneath the waves in dark despair Hope someone saves you; no one’s there If all days, weeks, years, the world stinks You feel so hopeless, know you’re jinxed You don’t know how to thrive or survive Question just […]
Over Chai or Beer
If the sky had been really falling Would I have felt it hit on the head If reason’s voice had been calling Would I have heard what it said Do I prattle all the live-long day Trying to make my life have sense Tongue tangled, mind in the way My plea, hope, peace, my defense […]

In Dreams One Night
In my dreams one night I heard such music Soft and sweet, so simple yet so complete Never imagined I such music, as I listened It wafted through me, with lightning force Aware it spoke to only me, I got so confused Lost, I wandered, desolate and disconsolate Our world’s clangorous cacophony unheard Withint distant […]
Confusion Reigns
Mentioned rarely in polite conversation, as I follow you around You will never see or hear me, because I never make a sound Unknown the land where I will one day lead you, an adventure Sometimes I’ll snatch you unprepared, curtail your time here Still, whether slow […]
