By Your Choices
I grasp at my time, my life, my being Like the blind men and the elephant What I perceive not what I’m seeing It may be my fire’s only on my pants Chasing after truth by concocting lies Mystic brews that obscure and reveal All my victories, failures and my tries Perchance to illuminate or […]
At Risk
At the risk that I repeat I am not feeling replete By cars upon my street I know I’m not an elite Fearing I only baa, bleat As my hours vanish fleet Till I’m but merely meat And lying ‘neath the peat For life’s rarely ever neat It’s messy and indiscreet Sun, rain, snow and […]
In All Its Lovely Raging
The ice cracks, breaks up and melts away Flowing southward from its place of birth Causing Earth to grow hot, angry each day As massive storms shout warning at earth What secrets have we found, have we lost Our ignorance has caused a stormy tirade Even now, do enough understand the cost In hubris cowering, […]
Until
I wander A house Known As if my own Wondering, pondering Past interactions Missed opportunities Arguments Confrontations Love Laughter Anger Sorrow Could have been Might have been Other than it was Other than A tragic dénouement A single Word Missed Cue Lost Feeling Reaction Action Blank look Angry glare Beady-eyed stare Chance mislaid Never noticed […]

Words, for me, wind down My art draws me, to paint All my words, all the words Any language, form, intent Incomplete to curry change Still I grasp I’ll persist, scribbling Verses, essays, stories, more Offering vision, being, truth My truth, which the universe Fills or drains, ebbs or flows Seeking Creating courses high to […]
Happy Trails to You
I look around and wonder what each of us sees Where I sit, it’s cliché, the forest from the trees I’m, like, listening to, like, voices impressed, like Never mind, I think I will go out for a long hike We mistake politicians for leaders, know they lie Kill, discredit true leaders, but do we […]
The Story
I will not by my life be floored When I may take it on the chin Stagger till my balance restored Stand up straight and tall again Wait, could it be that I am lost Upright, walking a wrong trail Perhaps not wrong, what a cost Timid, will I succeed, will I fail But all […]
What Do We Fear?
4 Questions Concerning the Fate of Humanity It is not a question of who we have been or even who we are now. It’s a question of who we become. More importantly, it’s whether we choose or whether we continue to embrace the pain and chaos we manifest and appear to revel in, in our […]
