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 listen to voices, talk spiced with the word like; never mind, I think I will go out for a long hike. We mistake politicians for leaders, know they lie. Kill or discredit true […]
Because
~~~~~ Once more into the breech, believing that everything is within my reach. I can laugh, dance and sing. It will all be rooster’s crow, saying that I am here. While I am sure you know, I wanted to be perfectly clear. A song I know has a line, how we all feel a little […]
By Any Other Name
~~~~~ Would miracles be or seem, by any other name, so grand? Miraculous, magical, names for what we don’t understand. Magic, for some speaks evil, dark powers, we can’t define. Miracles, equally mysterious, argued as proof of the divine. Minds shut so tightly, some refuse to heed any dissertation; faith in their own unknown eschews […]
Searching for You
~~~~~ Natural light obscured by swollen clouds, rain-slicked streets offer me no reflection. Trudging on, collar high to ward off damp, as I turn a corner, searching for this, you. Frigid gale, shredding the vaporous veil, ebbs, whispering encouraging, revealing, our spinning globe of stars and galaxies, this modest corner of infinite space, time So […]
Along Your Merry Way
~~~~~ In the deepest darkest depths of night, when all your thoughts shriek danger, fright. When evil looms within your sight, Dawn will come. When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite, storm-dark clouds bring sleet, snow, ice, till you can’t fight, and every day you live feels black as night, Spring will come. When […]
The Elements
~~~~~ Listen until you hear the winds blowing, exploring, seeking places we may not go. Whistling through rocks, chaparral, singing the mountains, the planes, and the oceans. Cries out the pain of storms, shrieks terror, whines loss, the loneliness of scoured land, the fear of destruction, as powerful as war. Do you hear the crackling […]
Each Morn
~~~~~ Rise like the lark into the morning; welcome day with joy and wonder. Smiles, laughter, your day adorning, take time, life’s miracles to ponder. Hope and feeling will play their part. How we face the day is only attitude. Each morn from birth until we depart; day will be painted the hue we imbue. […]
How Foolish We’ve Become
~~~~~ He walked through town, Late one afternoon, Wearing a Cheshire smile. I asked him, “why?” And he said, “Come walk with me awhile.” We walked on, Looking for a dark street, A lawn, an open field, Somewhere we could stand Or sit, or lie. Manufactured light, Obscured, occulted, A phrase turned oddly, I thought; […]
Songs of War ~ Songs of Peace
~~~~~ And will the savage songs of war never end, Replaced by simple, sweet songs of peace? How can we, forever, our loved-ones send, Knowing they will feed the slavering beast? Do we wonder why we never grow sane, When the best, the brightest are sent to die? Why choose blood, shed again and again? […]
Ever Deeper
~~~~~ What do we tell ourselves Late at night, Moments from sleep? What do we hope for At first light? Sun’s return Births our new day. Do we live Our days asleep, Our nights awake? Questions I struggle to answer Huddled before, around Flickering blue fires, Our idols. We pray they guard us As they […]
