I Choose Peace
~~~~~ When in our life we reach an age, a need, a trial, a test, the razor’s edge, Delving deeper, pondering, reflecting, remembering, planning, hoping Denying, angry, we bargain, we grieve while craving peace, acceptance Until we understand acceptance is a choice, with nothing and much to say I wonder the reason for my being, […]
Despite Expectation
~~~~~ 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. Neither will make you powerful nor fill a coffer. Does anyone know which questions or answers? The Titanic’s sinking, don’t disturb the dancers. Take me to […]
By and By
Sick for over a week and it has been difficult to stay focused on anything. Starting to come back. ~~~~~ Could I ever write something so new That I can never ever explain it to you? Paint images you cannot comprehend, That offend you, tell you I’ve sinned? Could I conjecture a world so strange, […]
Silently Across the Night
~~~~~ Moving silently across the night-dark earth, Fires burn ever, Fluttering banners, gold and red, to mark the dead, Ever brighter, Projected onto shifting smoke, Ever hotter. An ever-changing, tattered screen, white, gray, black, Consuming all. No animal, no insect, no blade of grass remains For eyes to see. Glimpses through wind-blown billows, voids, Eyes […]

Our New Reality
~~~~~ Has the time finally come to choose? It may have passed already, we lose. Our story has been written, received, Long before it was read or conceived. The storytellers and artists all know, Beginning started at the end, and so, All tales but one tale, look for a sign, Word beads now strung on […]
Random Thoughts on a Hot-skillet Mind
~~~~~ Way late on a west-coast afternoon, I think it a month or two past June. Could I succeed despite many tries, When time crawls, when time flies? No matter what we choose, decide, You deal with some you can’t abide. Relatives and some you call friends, You decide to enjoy it, or pretend. News […]
Jabberwacky
Guardians of Evil ~ Philip Brent Harris ~~~~~ Twas chilling and the slimy toads Did mire and gamble on the wave. All flimsy were their morals, so Plan B, come all outraged. “Beware the Jabberwack, each one! The jaws that lie, the plots that hatch! Beware what the Putput heard, and shun The […]
Before the End of Time
~~~~~ O, to imagine my words, my art might last Across the days, the years, the time to come, After I have gone Behind the curtain of future vision. I, to be merely in the wings And watch the players enliven my thoughts, Explain the meaning of my words, Daubs and strokes of painted memory […]
