to a very wise poet,
how “life is but a stage”

of tender moments

Premium Member Closeness
Compressive closeness 
Enchanted vision crumpled
In collapsed distance.

Transparent closeness
Masked reality unveiled
In snapped relation. 

Demanding closeness
Stifled freedom fragmented

This honesty allures a heavenly melody
An orchestration of profound serendipity
Deeply engraved before time immemorial
A perpetuation of unique legacy
Untouched by the numbness of life

Premium Member Random Acts of Grace
I wonder if our reasons
for growing random acts of violence
are similar
to our dwindling random acts of reasoned healing,
kindness,
gratitude,
unrequited love,
uncommodified,
unconscripted,
unscripted,
uncontained
restoring cooperative ecopolitical relationships forward
not just because...
