Premium Member Postcard, to a Friend from Twenty-Four Years Ago
They treated me for bipolar disorder. I wanted you to know. Although we still think it was the Adipex-p and weed mimicking a disease— because it hasn’t happened since. Hard to believe it’s been more than twenty years— that fourth of July, when I read your mind at the Washington Mall, and ran off to watch fireworks alone in the grass. It was...

June Bug, do you remember me? Understand, I'm older now, you see. No longer do I visit Grandpa with my brothers. Every fourth of July, you too, came with many others. Both of us came to play - beneath the fireworks display. United again, I recall you never flew so well. Give us another fourth, and we will give 'em hell....

Moon of the Wild
She came in silence where the cedars sway, A lunar hush beneath the argent trees. The serpentine wind curled words she wouldn't say— Just breaths and bow and coolness on the breeze. Her sisters moved like stars in cascade flight, The Hunters, free of longing, fierce and far. Their eyes held depths no lover dared to write, Each step a hymn beneath...

I’m sure my first words As a child were “No!” Followed soon after by “Why?” But I only really realized today, A bit surprisingly Given my 66 years on this earth, That I dislike following Either other’s directions But particularly other’s trails Obviously wishing instead To find my own way Changing it as it changes Moment by moment. And it’s been over fifty years now That...

They say a single white blossomed. Petals flung wide in the east wind’s howl— She must be lonely. Alone? Yes, but not adrift. ...

A Friendly Reminder For Our Nation
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Americans, and the world: In the crucible of revolution, our forefathers etched their pledge— a bold testament inscribed not solely in ink, but in the quiet, relentless pulse of divine dependence. It is as if the ink itself carried whispers of a celestial covenant, affirming divine Providence into the very marrow of liberty. Yet,...

Rats and Roses
I don’t have my learners permit. I have had to be the adult my whole life. I have had to tend to their outbursts and tantrums. I have survived all their rat runs I’ve always told myself it’s an assessment A test of my determination I will soon regain my adolescence They’re just giving me a foundation, I have had to deal with...

Adrift in some Mad American Empire I stand in my shadow as the future winds come Looking over the ruins of my nation! Eyes grow dim as the masses succumb Families cry as loved ones are stolen! What have we become A piece of crumpled banner flutters in the sky Blue field, a bold white name Are those bloody...

Humanity suffers, totalitarianism reigns, Vanity crushes our personal gains, Mankind is weeping and working as slaves, Those who refuse are remembered in graves. This is the fate of the people who cry, How do they rate if they do or they die? How do you choose what to do with your life? Most people can't who succumb to the strife. What does it...

The winds of change blow in time’s course, waft from an unseen end to another unknown. The momentum they gather from the power of the flow of history goes on increasing ever. The direction they receive from the message, the geopolitical events provide, can’t be altered. The future inscribed on nation’s landscape page, people earnestly design, can’t be changed. Totalitarian regimes blow away...

1776
The Stars and the Stripes, Is the blood that we shed. I pledge allegiance to the flag, Running through my head. The Home of the Brave, And the land of the free. Soldiers died to give their life, For you, and for me. The Stars and the Stripes, Is the blood that we shed. I’m proud to be...
