with the Light in his heart
the dark able to look through.
A man of wealth

the precious kernels of his soul.

Kernels of Success...
I cast these concepts
I cast these kernels
Kernels in my hand

Summer Matinee...I was only allowed to go, after much whining
begging, promises of unlikely saint-hood
if my brother, (much to his displeasure) made a pledge

Cockadoodle Don'T...Hens and Roosters in the barnyard
living in symbiotic relationships
each searching for kernels of corn.
Taking turns with beaks they snip

Sharks In the Soup...Soup’s unique tides have ebb and flow.
Soup’s currents steer time as it goes
