Cool and crisp air, Gentle breeze between. Bright sun and blue December sky. Leaves dancing in the sun’s light before their timely flight. The birds about their business. Cold in the shade. Acorns crunch as a man walks by. It won’t be long this moment in time. Met expectations. It feels so right, my chin in my palm, Enjoying the peace, enjoying the calm. No...

Killing Time
It seems time has not been on our side Circumstances have kept us apart Our stars thus far, have not aligned Though mutual feelings still exist in our hearts Your life is there and mine is here Still, our connection continues to hold space A buffer of miles exist between Perhaps protecting that cherished, sacred place At present, you have eyes for another...

On a Quest
On a quest for peace of mind Searching for light, truth and existence Beyond gravity, space and time Nothing is guaranteed. On a quest for love Searching for trust, friendship and honesty Beyond human hearts, mind and soul Nothing is guaranteed. On a quest for greatness Searching for power, control and mastery In solitude and in public Nothing is guaranteed. On a quest to oppress the...

Killing Time
My father once sat waiting, to live or die at roadside. Kill or be killed! Enemy or friend, he shot first. And in so doing, he lived in flesh but, died in spirit. My father once sat waiting, on a war tank at roadside. Kill or be killed! Enemy or friend, he warmed himself. Lounging on the tank, listening, hearing, of, final sounds inside. Tick, tick, TICK, my...

Patrick Deneen follows Tocqueville speaking of risks to Western liberal democratic experiments, great personal enlightenment adventures seldom calm within a federating kettle of competing selected fish, and usually not cooperatively resilient for health optimization of local community peaceful resonant wealth. In Tocqueville's time and place, liberal democracy evolved from feudal win/lose pre-industrial aristocracy overpowering non-elite serfs, and lesser natural organic beings, royal kleptocrats, universal white privileged patriarchs by...

Hands tick in motion but I hear naught of the onslaught of killing time depicted. Minutes run past me in tarred darkness as the visions in my brain are obscured. Clocks eat away moments of my life. I admit I'm nearly frightened to death of those mimed hands whose strokes stab me...

Killing Time
Suspense kills I would kill again grasping at fate, where it lies on my conscience. What's left of this you have a taste for now, pulling together, moving on to what you left behind, Stripping time I time travel until I belong in my skin, no longer in limbo watching the clock, your lies wasting away the hours... a thankless task to cling to time, always...
