Sorrow and Mirth
Sorrow and Mirth ~~~~~ Watching the gray, the white, a patch of blue. Sky rapidly filling with rain-pregnant clouds, Calls to mind a thousand things, old and new, Fantastic creatures to mountains and shrouds. When the clouds begin to darken till rain falls, Looks like pulling down a black, funereal veil. From inside me, the […]
Quarantine
Quarantine ~~~~~ As we sit a home and bide our sweet time, Hope we and ours come out the other side. Hording is no more safe than eating dimes; Won’t heal you nor slow pace of time, tide. By all means, I say, be careful as you can. Don’t stroll on busy roads, lick live […]
A Tree Grows in Sagittarius
A Tree Grows in Sagittarius ~~~~~ Listen now, with me, to the music Which flows through me, moves me Like wind through trees, moving leaves Which shows me my way home. Let us watch, strolling together, down the lane, Dark windows spring to light as we pass, Like the magic of lightning bugs on a […]
Not Mary
Not Mary ~~~~~ Not Mary, knew she didn’t understand, had never understood, As a small girl rolling down a hill, As an old woman rolled into the hall, Why she had been born Into the wrong time, far too soon. She had always tried incredibly hard to be especially good. The nightingale sings down the […]

The Rotting Detritus of Our Daily Lives
The Rotting Detritus of Our Daily Lives ~~~~~ Everything exists And is available, But we are taught Blindness and negation. Children know wonder, The mad may see it, But we will never know. We silence them, treat them As annoyance, a disease, A condition, forced to learn To act our definition of normal. We regiment […]
The River Flows
The River Flows ~~~~~ Watching the river flow, Standing on the bridge In the shank of night. A half-forgotten moon Casting the only light. Yet, as the moon merges With distant mountains, The stars above blaze, Full of moments, stories. Not only our myths, Legends we would guard, But myths and legends Of distant civilizations. […]
Dream Strange Dreams
Dream Strange Dreams ~~~~~ Patterns upon patterns upon patterns, All our world is full of shapes and lines. Some appear solid, but science says no. Some are shadows and reflections of us, Our world patterns cast upon everything. How to know, what is real, what is not? Is it a question, or is the question, […]
Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity ~~~~~ When I set out to find my fortune, who knew I would land so far from home? Home a moving target while growing up. Though I understand it is not a place but a feeling which summons us and holds us together, yet, seeking escape velocity, While remaining always together to […]
Yin Balances Yang
Yin Balances Yang ~~~~~ Whatever wisdom I have acquired, After learning how little we know, Comes down to simple things. Balance always finds its measure. The life of time encompasses all, While we inhabit our ignorance. Know to always find hate and love, Naturally, mysteriously as dark to light. Over time all things will wear […]
