Forever
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Mother gently rocks the cradle, the little one fast asleep as long as the motion doesn’t cease. Now he’s growing, knowing sights and sounds for the first time, both exciting and sublime. Shriek of joy, shriek of terror. Whether this is right or wrong or where we […]
Cling Upon
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Can you feel the change of seasons| despite the heat when rain should fall? Everything changes the new. Some rise again and some fall. What will linger? Is it no more than a brief interlude? An etude in hopes we learn it. A lesson we hope we […]
What You’ll Learn
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Hurry forward and assume your place. It’s still the same game, the same race. Some will tell you it’s different every time, appearance might suggest another clime. It’s always different, yet always the same, different boards and tokens, the same game. So, step right up and take […]
My True and Only
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Flying now miles above the clouds, a solid field of white, like deep snow. What lies beneath now hidden, both the clouds and below alien landscape.

Impossibility
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The shadows flit tree to tree and building to building, the players hiding, laughing. The game, the one we all play, our shadow tag, which is more than the time to hate or the time to adore. We run and laugh and dance and sing, looking for […]
Ode to a Tricycle
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ My mind paints it a brilliant crimson with matched plastic handlebars grips. It didn’t belong to me, but I thought it perfect for the trip I’d just conceived. Right after I’d convinced my friend’s little brother to let me briefly borrow it, only for one quick downward […]
Follow the Path
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Leaves drift slowly through the trees. Solid sentinels in orange, red and yellow, ground beneath them carpeted in color, turning brown around the fall of seasons. The reasons held in those discarded, like bare branches of the winter’s trees. Bare or clad in white, more funereal than […]
Know We Must
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ May life fill me to the brim, my sails and yards trimmed to catch the wind and sail away long past a year and a day. No marriage, no pea green boat, simply pea coat to warm my breast. Help me face each and every test and […]
