Light in the Darkness
When I close my eyes, I see the future When I look before me, I see the past Open my eyes, I think at last I see her Or must I, from my eye, the mote cast My love has always been, deep in time She walks beside me until my days end I may […]
All of Me
I swirled as a seed Caught within the flood Following the torrent Toward safety, doom Danced along a precipice Hidden by the storm Imagined I was apart Unconnected, unprotected Bashed, battered Buffeted by unseen force Believed I wouldn’t, Couldn’t have mattered Wandering along Washed up upon An unknown shore I lay silently Quiescent, unknown Parched, […]
A Better View
I often wonder, how did we get into this mess I mean, we did not choose to grow our brain Who decides to confront predators, such stress Sharp fang and claw, able to cause acute pain Where else in the universe, would you suppose Evolution played this little joke, what survived Not really a joke […]
This Doctor Said
I This doctor said I might be crazy No real worry, if the doc’s unsure I get twisted, my mind most mazy Will I get out; will they find a cure Well’s bottom, as water gets deep The bucket is broken, rope frayed Am I but dreaming, still fast asleep Fear to discover my candle […]

We are creatures of habits and instincts. Often, despite what we think, know or believe, we respond to our body’s chemical and hormonal cues or behaviors learned in childhood.

In the Key of E – Energy
Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face Or is only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown Choices and choices upon […]

Despite Expectations
Could it be that I have found and lost my way Will it all change tomorrow, or stay like today Mostly I have questions, while answers I offer None will make you powerful nor fill a coffer Does anyone know right questions or answers The sinking Titanic; don’t disturb the dancers Take me to your […]
