Questions
What questions should I ask? Which “what if” should I imagine? What if I could Wave my magic wand Change the world At least Change my world Am I wise Wise enough To remake the world Is this even The question I should ask, We should ask? Should I state instead What I believe How […]
So Far, So Good
Paint, brushes and a blank canvas, where should I begin? Decide what areas stay empty; what should be filled in I can imagine my painting on a second-hand shop floor Obscured by who knows what, banged into by the door Maybe I’ll tickle someone’s fancy, so on the wall I’ll know Yet, I hope I’ll […]
How High?
Now, we have come finally to our witching hour When we must decide if we will claim our power Myself, I begin to think it has become too late Yet we still must choose, there is no time to wait What our nation, our world might once have been Our glory days barely remembered, are […]
Nothing to Fear
He walked through town, Late one afternoon, Wearing a Cheshire smile I asked him, “why?” And he said, “Come walk with me a while.” We strolled on, Looking for a dark street, A lawn, an open field Somewhere we could stand Or sit, or lie Manufactured light Obscured, occulted A phrase turned oddly, Thought, I […]

What We Always Know
When I think about beauty, I confess What makes me happy looks the best Bright colors, harmony, truth or jest Although I also like much of the rest Think minor chords as well as tragedy May impart more truth than reality We survive tempest to feel tranquility It’s all just on or off, to be […]
Without Exception
Minds, when open like a blooming flower Pollinated by ideas each and every hour Open eyes can only see but not perceive Closed minds neither, unable to receive Pen marries paper, sparks a new flame Flame marries taper, fire briefly tamed Bow caresses strings, tender as true love Ethereal music brings down from above Brush […]
Rotten to the Core
Cannot anyone help me understand Our world’s oh so obvious insanity People only, the Earth works grand Can I hide where none can find me Enter the asylum, numbed by drugs Or self-medicate and live vicariously Stoned or drunk, suck media dugs Consumed by, crime, soaps, reality I have tried to take the blame before […]
Turning a Blind Eye
I think the car over there is flirting with me It honked its horn and also blinked its lights There are no people anywhere that can see Maybe it’ll offer me a ride to see the sights I start to walk closer, make it certain I saw It’s grown frantic, honking, lights blinking I dash […]
