How Often
Eyes grown dim and cloudy My memory starts to fade Not only the daily panoply But the choices I have made The horrors of youth soften Music, laughter fill the gap I always wonder how often My dark and light overlap
Canvassing
Many believe we come into this world table rasa I think we’re not a blank slate, but a white canvas White looks quite stark, but contains all the colors Throughout life, we scrape off some, add others Painted canvas, like puzzle pieces, fill in life’s tale No matter where we start or end, it’s the […]
My Hymn
There are so many things to do, to start All the online petitions that I should sign Lots I should take from my shopping cart As I twiddle my thumbs in the grocery line Too much meat, too much sugar, I know Too many causes clamor for my attention Barely energy to wipe myself, when […]
Morning Lark

You believe it is crack cocaine By comparison to this, we would […]
#Je Vous Suis
Radio crooned, what if god were one of us? A question an almost recent pop song asked It makes me wonder, what if god is all of us? And we fail to notice, since we all go masked Still, we tell ourselves that we know the truth Everybody else is only playing make-believe But don’t […]
