What A Marvelous Space
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ What spirit moves through the heart, the mind, the brains, the hands of any creator? This is a question all should ask. We all create in our own ways, to the degree of which we are capable, though even the most minor among us have created life’s […]
1,000 Years
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Inspired by the works of composer, Kian Ravaei Run to me and throw your arms around me, as I hug you in return. Boundless joy fills moments, that feel as if they last many lifetimes. We finally part, stare in wonder; each at the other. Grasping hands […]
Am I a Writer or Just a Person Who Owns Too Many Notebooks?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ How can I have too many notebooks? A dastardly assertion. Like saying I have too many books. So what, if my stack of To-Be-Read books would be taller than my house, taller the city hall. Yes, I admit it might reach the moon. But it’s not hoarding, […]
Scatters
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The water sound, as you turn on the backyard hose, when you fill the bird bath with fresh water. Soft patter of the seed you scatter for birds, small critters to come feed at your larder. Mostly wrens, house finches and other l.b.b.’s, little brown birds, as […]
You’re Out
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I sit on the sidelines, wanting to play this game called life. I would take the stage, play hero or villain.

Mooning
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Moon where did you get that shine? Thy friend, the sun, glows far away. Wondering within the deeps of time, Mystery-birthed myths and legends. Lunacy blamed when people crazed; cracked like pottery stressed by time. Stressed, unstressed, found in words and referenced in verse do not apply […]
A Deep Breath
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The air crisp with the scent of winter as I stood near the teahouse in Portland, Oregon’s block square Chinese Garden. A hazy day didn’t hide the city around the periphery of the garden, but made it, like stepping into another time and place. In the near […]
What I Said
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ This poem cannot heal my heart, but this poem can patch my soul. This poem cannot feel my pain. This poem can help me share my feelings. This poem cannot alter the order. This poem can structure my daily grind. This poem cannot remember my birth. This […]
Instead
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I scream my defiance as loud as I can, until it echoes inside of my own head. I’d do it again, but I don’t have a plan. So, I wonder what I might do instead. ~~~~~ Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is […]
Please, Stay Tuned
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Today, I won the lottery for mega bucks and I’m walking around, chest puffed out. What can’t I do? who can’t I be? I suppose the most like person is me. Today, I walked upon the moon, right near where other folk have walked. Won’t they be […]
