Vox Clamantis in Deserto

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ This verse has been modified from one I wrote, Full Stop, in August of 2014. What will it take for our madness to stop? If it ever does. More senseless killings, now Tennessee, another school is violated. Three adults and three children, stricter gun laws are indicated. Not […]

Fall at Last

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ When shards of optimism litter the world and hope is balanced on a razor’s edge, It is then we must wonder which side of dreaming will we land upon. For my hope is your fear. And your hope I’m afraid to hear. For few can look in both […]

What the Future

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Making new connections never known, expected. Found by reaching out. Who knows what the future holds, what any move may change, to what comes after? Every moment passes by. Every glance, nod, head shake, and breath births new chances and possibilities. Unless we stop, flinch, stay in a […]

Write on Yourself

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Warming up without intent, direction, to shake my thoughts and words loose. They tumble out in interesting disarray, while I try to connect them coherently. What sequence will I discover, if any? Limbering my psyche to spill through. My synapses fire, spark what fills me as I write […]

Reaching Home

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ This is how it always is, though no way close to what you or I think, have decided it must be. Yet, what you believe may become your vision. Perhaps, for a time, you will convince me it’s mine. I would not persuade you to follow what I […]

As I Fall Behind

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ In the light of the sunset, I saw the eyes of truth. Though they showed the debt I 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 […]

A Different Day

~~~~~ In this instant generation is it ever just now? If each moment an anticipated future, how? Recording all our lives for future delectation Can existence contain any new expectation? Will it ever be right now, this moment, day? Can we live now while deciding what to say? It is said, our history is written […]

Last Note ~ Toddler’s Song

~~~~~ Girl, 3, shoots, kills sister, 4, in NW Harris County, Houston TX–3/12/2023 One more bullet shot from one more gun. You are sure this must be all; the last one. Yet, once more death and once more pain. We watch it splatter another stupid stain. One more child becomes unable to reply. Is there […]

What Sages Tell

~~~~~ Brief interludes may be the joy of life. A smile, kind word to dispel our strife. If only briefly, our day becomes better. Duties we feel ted to, it foils our fetter. Our shackles have only been imaginary, Yet we say it’s Marley’s chain we carry. Our forced claim feeds a thing we need, […]

Hold On

~~~~~ Form a figure three by three Where each space speaks In its own language, rhythm. Yet all fit together like a child’s Puzzle where every piece Is a different color and The pattern changes with how You change them, rearrange Your view and your perception. Memory marks the surfaces As they slip away, repeat. […]
