The Spaces Between
The Spaces Between ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Shall we talk then, shall we sing, discuss Rachmaninoff, analyze Proust, remembrance of future things? Will you tell me no one knows what tomorrow brings? As musicians fingers fly, over strings, along the keys; quickly, quickly, come listen. […]
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 […]
Beautiful Dreamers
~~~~~ Are you liberal, conservative, radical, stoic, centrist, anarchist, green? You can fill in the blanks I’ve missed. Maybe you want to bring back the Wobblies or worship the sun. What you label yourself is much less important than what you believe. Can you tell me why you believe, what you believe and why […]
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. […]
Beside Me
~~~~~ They said, “How far is lonesome?” That was the question they asked. And, I realized, I did not know. My life has been filled with love. Yet, some people live with people, Family, friends, others, but alone. Can you answer this question? I wonder, as I ponder this and, I believe, perhaps, I do […]
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; […]
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 […]
By and By
Sick for over a week and it has been difficult to stay focused on anything. Starting to come back. ~~~~~ Could I ever write something so new That I can never ever explain it to you? Paint images you cannot comprehend, That offend you, tell you I’ve sinned? Could I conjecture a world so strange, […]
