Into a Ball
Into a Ball ~~~~~ I know I want to always be clever or, at least, I want to appear to be. Not solely here, in every endeavor. wisdom over smarts, at least for me. I know, time tells what was thought of what I offered and I left behind. Won’t matter what I made, bought; […]
A Single Tear
A Single Tear ~~~~~ What net of illusions do I hope to cast? Magician’s misdirection my future, past. Always on the verge of fathoming truth, feeling all makes sense, a folly of youth. How then could I have thought, known? Imagine imagination’s leap, now grown. many ways, not only down or sideways, wander, stars transfixed, […]
Why Wait?
Why Wait? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment. ~~~~~ Please, tell me how long we must wait. Will we ever know if we’re out of date, and wonder if we’re quick or are late? Will we even perceive our own estate? Do you know how we can fall […]

When my gaze returns, my perception changes, questions in my mind foment. Walking to the concert hall, after it’s rained, light […]
All So Simple
All So Simple ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ What’s a person to do, when every day there’s something new? War and violence, feeling blue, so what’s a person supposed to do? Rich fools spout madness, though many may agree guns for all; that’s best, don’t you […]
Why on Earth?

Outside Straight
Outside Straight ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Who named our potentates in charge to date? There’ll be others, after we fill our final crate. Will it ever matter who we put atop that slate? Held to the grindstone their egos won’t ablate. We allow them to […]
