Time
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The rain has ended, yet the sound of water dripping, moving, running, as if it will never cease, fills the world. Water, essential to life, may be all things together or individually at different moments. Is it the puddle drying in the sun, a mighty cataract thundering […]
Amazed And Shattered
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Softly I cry out into the dark void. The vast expanse of space and time. Knowing I may stop on any world, enjoy the sun and people I find there. Unaware they appear different than the people I’ve met and lived among, I step away. Amazed and shattered […]
The Bus Pulls Away
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The clock ticks and time races. Move to the country, time slows. It can’t be just clock or location, but I will bet no one truly knows. The country, an unexploded bomb. We had best hope time stands still. Ticks last hours, sweat on our brow. If […]
It Can Be No Other Way
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Step outside and see our wondrous world, leaving your phone and all worries behind. Smile at the sun or rain; race with the wind. It changes directions when you think you’ve won. No television, no radio, no talk of war or strife. Dance, sing, play, skip stones […]
No Travesty Implied
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Dancing down the street talking to birds, flowers. Waving to cops, random folk, strangers I’ve yet to meet. A happy tune trips through my thoughts, to tempt a smile. Promise, I will share it today and often, whenever I may. How do we go through our days, […]
At Last
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ There is infinite time in space. There is infinite space in time. Whatever you think you feel, may not, in any way, be real. What does it matter if nothing has sense, if this is pretense? Change the present, not past. Can we begin to change at last? […]
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, […]
