Children All
Children All ~~~~~ All poems are poems for children, Whatever we think they’re about. Children all are born to be poets, Dream alive a mother’s heartbeat. Until they’re lost to ones, naughts. Percussive, staccato rhythms that Write verse about shoulds, oughts, Starve us with the feckless bounty, Our personal flickering blue idols. We, who write, […]
Never See
Never See ~~~~~ I marvel at the sounds and stories Words spin when they flow through me. How music helps me find these glories, Which, on my own, I might never see. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what […]
Till Next Time
Till Next Time ~~~~~ Recently, I’ve struggled, trying to write, All the words I choose simply take flight, And my love of the page I cannot requite, Though I try and try with all of my might. Love isn’t claimed or conquered by force. Still, boldness is often required, of course. Could be fighting a […]
Ad Infinitum
Ad Infinitum ~~~~~ I was sitting in a downtown cafe, looking for the words I wanted, listening to other people’s lives, fits and starts, dribs and drabs. O, what stories I could imagine. O, what stories could I imagine? of these people and their lives; the difference a single change, an opening, taken or missed, […]
Falling Fast
Falling Fast ~~~~~ The words friable and frangible myriad might find intangible. They’re too specific and esoteric. And, certainly less manageable than our good old atmospheric. Though atmosphere, I’ve found, moves, never sticks around. It provides no solid ground Much like friable, frangible, it just might let you down. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is […]
What I Said
What I Said ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Mired in my mind maze, lonely and lost, as I wander around inside my own head. Wise words I uttered, at too high a cost, because, I cannot remember what I said. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is […]
Onward to Begin
Onward to Begin ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ Stop. Listen to the world in all its fecund profusion. Block out the noise, our daily whirl, which leads only to confusion. Stop, now. Put away our toys; they cannot, in most ways, begin […]
Before
Before ~~~~~ It is time to put people over politics, country over capitulation and world over wealth. ~~~~~ How do we surmise? We have said and done Enough to think we’re wise? Will we know before we’re gone? ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a […]
Time and Tyrants
~~~~~ Then, how do we judge things we create reflecting the world and the self we present. Utilitarian, glorious, elegant, ugly, personal, public, whatever field. Music which may soar as skyscrapers, cathedrals. Art, as massive dam or a mighty cataract that surmounts it, shatters it, altering our landscape, a flowing river, stopped by a new […]
Children’s Duty
~~~~~ How lovely a bouquet, yellow daffodils, in a clear glass vase, the stems cut short, die the sooner; their life and beauty stills. Though death comes for all life, no resort. From the far field we hear a loud report. Death stalks killing fields and marks all, knowing lives of children, it will abort, […]
