My Friend
Begin at the beginning or just before Do you have any idea where that might be? Bring light into all the dark places Will you open your heart to light the world? Moonlight and starlight are the same Will you breathe deeply, without restraint? The beginning of all, everything starts at the end Will you […]
One Step
I walked to a park in a neighborhood I was familiar to me, but not my own. The world had impinged upon me, darkened my mood and I had allowed it to do so. Watching a local sports team I loosely follow, I began feeling defeated. Not only were they losing, but also playing poorly. […]
So They Post
Everything you are about to hear or read is true Whether the stories are about me or about you How should we tell these stories so they are real And, not some huckster’s wild and fanciful spiel I believe we must always trust ourselves, our gut I think most folk are happy where they are, […]
What are We Supposed to Do?

Are Men Nuts?
The subjugation of women drives me nuts Just because men fear empowered women Keep women down, no ifs or ands or buts Threatened, if women don’t bow to them I mean, men haven’t done a great job so far Trashed the planet like at a crazy frat party Play with guns, rape, murder, start new […]
On the Home Front

Neverending
Will we Grow, Grow up Grow old, Grow old Together In all weather Woven, weaving A tapestry Joined, cleaving Or a shroud Grieving, giving, Dying, living Out loud Friend, lover Mover, cover Shielding all, Memories Times, signs Lightening, thunder Torn asunder Torn apart Hearts shred Mere threads Tatters, blood Splatters, Should we Clutch tight, fight […]
