The feelings we feel

Dawn Steps Lightly into the Day
...
Silence quells the bells
as dawn sneaks into the space,
where darkness reigned supreme.

For something to be assembled.
From the dis-membered memories,

Though the sun is set, it's rays still shine from afar.
Once submerged in the vast beauty of this world,
Yet never stopped by the mundane rocks...

Mourn not till the embers fade 25-05-24
...Mourn not till the embers fade,
Till the blasphemous time forces us on our way.
Mourn not what is dying
But treasure instead what it created.
Listen to how the gulls cry;
They don’t mourn for ou...

from billowy clouds,
plump with expectation,
you break free and come tip toeing lightly
on tiny feet, gliding and dancing,
through the air in crisp December.

Harvest of ripened fodder yields
In rolls of hay littering the fields.
Golden, dried under the sun,
For livestock winter consumption;
Who still graze in rich Fall pastures,...

Much Ado, a Nihil Brew
...In the war of words, tongues wag,
Wit and jest, lies and insults, haggle for traction,
joining the ragtag rabble of riffraff chaff
blowing in the wind, littering the ground with trash.

Mahogany misery loves company on bone beach
Seas of skeletons once were hearts on sleeves
Littering black sands like sea shells knee deep
See her...

The Specious Criminal Trial
...Which fish
The scuba diver
Is going after?
The big one
Or the small one?
Which sheriff
Is on trial today?
The petty one
Or the pretty one?
Everyone must have its day
In the Kangaroo Court.
