Does It Matter?
The world is full of liars, some good and some bad. Does it really matter? Storytellers, since ancient times, have told us stories that never ever were Mayhap happened not in the way the tales were told, for drama, for effect To seek the deepest truth of who we are, how we feel, and what […]
What If?
What if you could create anything, paint like the greatest artist ever seen Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gentileschi, Rousseau, Magritte, Cassatt, Ditko, Kane No doubt, I haven’t named your favorite, your one and only most fine The list is so long, I could fill up every notebook that I have ever owned Then I could […]
What Need?
I heard a question most recently Which I must say puzzled me Seriously someone asked, you see For what do we have any need For tigers to walk among the trees? And while I pondered, I realized I could never, ever compromise So, seriously, I ask you now, why What need have tigers wandering […]
You’re a Real Card ~ Part 3 ~ Hearts
Hearts Hearts are home, family, friends that haven’t met yet When you realize opportunity has met preparation The joy when you win, but don’t remember your bet All of the simplest things with the greatest relation Hearts are the goodness that we all carry deep within Random acts of kindness, a gentle word, opened door […]

In an Instant
Sometimes in deep hours of night, insomniac, I think I know the answer While other times, in the brightest light of day, I’m much less certain Perhaps my problem is I don’t really even know the question to ask here When will ever I have a moment to learn, while I face such a […]
Listen
I think, perhaps, I’ll write a poem an undiscovered story tonight While I sit, eyes closed, listening to the music of classical guitar Hard church pews, though near the sacred altar, still numb my butt Yet listen, the music, oh the music, convinces me I do, not care On a simple Saturday, though full […]
