On Being Late
When I leave on time, I often arrive late When, I linger too long, I also arrive late I write one more email, like it can’t wait Hear one more song and ponder my fate I’m like many, my life not what I thought What I had wanted is not what I have got Not […]
Can Harmony Be known?
Rich harmonies spring forth, combine Close your eyes in wonder, so sublime Storyteller’s voice weaves magic above Within and without, a tale about love Chiaroscuro words shift, hide, reveal Bits of forever, our imagination steals Dreams, smoke, dim, bright, the same Win and lose, while playing life’s game Yet losers are winners, never doubt it […]
Just the Same
What is the frown I see upon your mug? It looks like someone really needs a hug That someone you refer to has a name Please use it; I’ll take that hug just the same
Neverending

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
How will people of the future see The people who are alive this day Will they ken we act no differently We’re what we do, not what we say I believe it is not the words I write But that I share my hopes and fears Exploring this, our common plight Hope my words may […]
Circular
My heart seeks answers To questions I do not know Know to ask or answer No, musings I do not Understand understanding I cannot ponder Wonder which I cannot conceive Tenants of faith I do not believe Existence, nonexistence Always, ever Always never Everywhere, nowhere Yet always, always In the center A pawn of fate […]
