Yearning and Reaping
Yearning and Reaping ~~~~~ Life, our mystery, our sorrow and our joy, today only. We can neither live in the past, nor predict the future, no matter how much we yearn. Whether we are single or joined, guardians of children or only ourselves and each other, we all travel together. Our ship will not sail, […]
Life Where I Live ~ and why it needs to change
Life Where I Live and why it needs to change ~~~~~ Your life is busy, if you live in the good old US of A. If you’re not homeless, jobless, addicted, suffering from PTSD, begging for money on the street, wondering where you will sleep, where your next meal will come from, you probably think […]
Sea and Sand
Sea and Sand ~~~~~ Breath deep the glimmering day. All too soon it will all pass away. Hillside lush and green with life, Gentle curve, the horizon’s knife. Anon, the sun slips into the sea. Hoping the morning, we will see Can you imagine, a tiny chance, Hummingbirds, raindrops dance. A fiery sunset, wildfire’s balance. […]
Bet it Ain’t So
Bet it Ain’t So ~~~~~ Please, breathe deeply and let it all go. Why worry about how little you know? Sit back and relax and go with the flow, Like you are buried neck-deep in snow. Unless you’re loaded, rolling in dough, You don’t count, case you don’t know. Wage-slaves, drones held down below, Have […]
Universal Play
Universal Play ~~~~~ I have been told it is good to look in the mirror. Though all I see is a flipped image of who I chose, this time, to be. Yet, when I look out my windows, I see all of us a reflection of who and what we chose to play, as our […]
Listen
Listen ~~~~~ I listen to hear the rhythm of the world, songs of all the galaxies, spirals unfurled. I listen to my heartbeat, a lone songbird, any sound we live with, yet rarely heard. Hearing, listening are not the same thing. One uses brain and ears, one focus pings. Listen to the world and perspective […]
Our Need to Fill
Our Need to Fill ~~~~~ All the things we know about the world, which make us feel superior. Lies, omissions shout- ed as truth, half-truth, we steal, or our own. How stupid we are. Decisions we make which lead to fortune and or disaster’s mar in inexorable, ponderous speed, fast; we should not blink. Still, […]
Most Likely
Most Likely ~~~~~ Can you see the crazy man standing over there? You might think him normal. I assure you he is not. Stress has robbed his strength, his ability to recover. I’ve heard it said, no rest for the wicked, or no rest for the weary, This is no rest for the busy. Whether […]
As I Fall Behind
As I Fall Behind ~~~~~ In the light of the sunset, I saw the eyes of truth. Though they saw the debt I had accrued in youth, They left me smiling, just the same. In the glory of the dawn, I heard the voice of all creation, saw the raptor and the fawn. I lived […]
To Laugh and Cry
To Laugh and Cry ~~~~~ I would be the blazing lantern to guide us, when darkness comes. Not the stubby candle that melts away to nothing, to be soon gone. Nothing left, no thought, no song. I would be the compass to lead us, If I knew where we were in bright sunlight, saw the […]
