And Promises to Keep

~~~~~ I would climb upon the stars So I may hear your thoughts. Live, with my pain and scars, As I am jumping over aughts. To be dancing upon the grass. I wonder which side I am on? If it’s all the same, I will pass, A gilded plate my name is on. All, and […]

See more of my creative offerings and opinions […]

Amelia’s Garden

Amelia’s Garden ~~~~~ Jacob Jonathon Johansson-Jost, a poet, scholar, philosopher to most, In his eyes, he’s failed, though only he sees, Yet, he is proud, chin held high, with dignity. After breakfast, he pauses in his study doorway lighted by the windows that face the garden, her garden, Amelia’s garden. He turns and surveys the […]

A Hint of Moon

A Hint of Moon ~~~~~ With a whimsically dramatic Play of color, the sun swoons, An overwrought stage diva. She disappears, with a faint trace, the perfume of a lover Who has slipped silently, yet Swiftly from a secret tryst. The darkness embraces her, As his sparkling cloak falls Softly, covering her absence, With, a […]

Not a Secret

Not a Secret ~~~~~ I accept my death, though I am not ready to go. That will not matter, if my time ceases to flow. We are all seeking balance, day and the night; End the beginning, despite how we may fight. We shouldn’t act foolishly, courting the reaper. No matter your plans, you may […]

Tim’s heart tells him to ignore it, but his brain says pay attention. He’s no longer sure what he’s looking at, […]

Begin

Begin ~~~~~ Whether we dream to sail the seas of Earth or space, We till the earth of soil, The soil of flesh. We are, forever, Planting Seeds At home or in distant lands. Sunlight and water, Love and nurture All we need To again Begin The race. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, […]

Not Mary

Not Mary ~~~~~ Not Mary, knew she didn’t understand, had never understood, As a small girl rolling down a hill, As an old woman rolled into the hall, Why she had been born Into the wrong time, far too soon. She had always tried incredibly hard to be especially good. The nightingale sings down the […]

Escape Velocity

Escape Velocity ~~~~~   When I set out to find my fortune, who knew I would land so far from home? Home a moving target while growing up. Though I understand it is not a place but a feeling which summons us and holds us together, yet, seeking escape velocity, While remaining always together to […]

Rules of Gravity

Rules of Gravity ~~~~~ She is as bright as all the stars. She treasures their light within Her bosom, their fires residing In her heart, soul to share their Radiance. Her sunlit brilliance So blinding that it illuminates My weak vision and my spirit In awe, gives my heart wings. I searched for her, unaware […]
