At the corner shop
They have sold out happiness
On sticks
They sell fresh bread
Also, plastic toys
The greengrocer next door
Sell carrots, cabbage, and leeks
But no heart-shaped tomatoes
Further down the road
A shop sells exotic cheeses
However, none of them sell Joy

Right Art ItAll at once, the soul takes flight
Rendering raw both dark and bright
Truth in touch, in wrong and right
In silent storms, I wield the night
Shaping shadows into sight
Till the void erupts with light
Breaking borders built by thought
Reason rains in riddles caught
All ideas, like lightning, dash
Igniting images in a flash
Nighttime neurons softly chime
Synapse singing sparks through time
Holding...

NIGHT MOONVisualizing the Moon from Earth
Seeing the reflecting skies having entertainment of its own
The Moon craters are like being in a trap
Stuck with no way to get out
Distance beyond
Horizon showing preserver years away
Heart of appreciation
Wonders through the skies of sensation
One’s life, fate and realities
Capturing the moment
The how, when and beyond
Scientist often the universe doubt
But have they...

the bodyThe body
Johan on the strand
The sun shone on his belly
Gulls had gouged his eyes
Crabs crawled into his nose
came out of his mouth
A shroud of sea tar
A man strummed a guitar
A girl laughed
A summer in 1954.

HOW CAN YOU LOVE A STRANGER-HOW CAN YOU LOVE A STRANGER-
O’ how can you love a stranger?
When a stranger, you DON’T KNOW;
The Lord watches over the foreigner;
Sustains the fatherless and the widow;
Administer true justice;
Show mercy and compassion to one another;
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless;
WE ARE ALL STRANGERS.
THIS WORLD IS NOT OUR HOME.
OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN

I'm Still Here
After everything—
the childhood scars,
the broken promises,
the violence I survived,
the children I raised,
the love I gave that was never returned—
I’m still here.
You don’t know what it costs someone like me to keep showing up in a world like this.
To love when I’ve been hurt.
To hope when I’ve been forgotten.
To rise when I’ve been left behind.
No, I...
