History's Greatest Miracle Play

History’s Greatest Miracle Play

Let me tell you a story - Prologue

Actors gather to play their parts
To set the stage – backdrops and props –
In history’s greatest miracle play
Called to speak their lines
On redemption’s stage
In a...

Somewhere On Foot Part Two

“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me
“Looking for directions.
The town you’re seeking is a few winding roads and...

Great Shakespearean Stage

It has been said
by Shakespearean wit
All the world's a stage.

And so it is, I actively and fluidly suppose,
One Great Transitioning Stage
of diverse seasons
and eons of becoming cooperatively larger
and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too...

Put Them Out of Sight Now

Lay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...
Place them safely in the cupboard 
Bare.
Wrapped in stiff brown paper,
Strung tightly together
With thin white string;
Turn...

~ the Meadow ~

The meadows clearing....

Surrounded by the forest, afore the mountains sculpted by time

Majestic splendors, rising, beneath the blueish skies

With cascading waters, of virgins white melting snow

Heavens unveilings, before all of our eyes

These gifts unto the living,...

Predictable

Crocheting needles waved her fingers from a self-disclosed mind

Texture and pattern set lines like predictive text and autocorrect

Wool over her eyes would know how to stitch up her soul-scape

No matter whether blanket or poncho woollen...

Spectrums, Tints and Shades

Spectrums, Tints and Shades

Like the painter’s palette awash with hues and tones – white to tint and black to shade, greys scattered in between: 

What risks we run:
Shaving a little too close that we get...

Journey on for the Moment

  
if I could describe your soul it would be 
clear mirror shattering forevermore

not fitting, falling under oak table  
stuck on persian carpet existing

Apostrophe In Time

water weeps wildly
whilst washing away your
jesting foolery.
I saw the sun annihilated
	Against backdrops of liturgy
Lethargic activity that earns
	It’s title as the Earth’s endearing child
Against backdrops of monogamy,
Pedestrian thinking,
	Accelerated usage,
Lapping up mentalities from bowls of pulled poultry,
Doing...

You'Re Never Alone


Reflected in the tender skies, azure dreams,
Compared to the joys that inspire light,
Rustling quietly in the rushing streams,
Promising laughter that restores the insight.

Rising across the morning’s smile, songs 
Silencing the darkness with such a stirring
Only...

Lover Named Night

She stumbles over wish-less objections,
     frozen times, out of rotation
silent quotations of words never said.

Rightful wrongdoings/cotton candy-flavored lies
 hide beneath black hazed shadows.

Still stanzas whisper secret
   hopes/misgivings/dreams/realities
bleed crescent scars...

The Train Tramps

Bedraggled and grimy they hike from the tracks,
Fleeing the urban centers to the south.
Unsteady gaits and sun worn skin glow.
A young couple with a thin mutt,
Ramble towards a local store.
The lively grin of the underfed...

Don'T Let Them Cast Ceilings!

A piece of me, forged from molten memories..
  of patchwork stability
Changes of scenery....haggard, humble backdrops
  Questionable casts of characters...
Scripts written in off-color obscenity and derangement
 
 An old soul removed from a separate...

Thunderous cascades of gushing cold water bouncing happily over rocks

Charm-Laden February

Velvet heart romantics sensual bounce, 
embolden relish despite an North Pole 
shiver amid the snowfall prism awning. 
Love-in-a-mist, synonym on damp Earth 
ground clay akin to scented daybreak
usher sown wistfully underneath a 
picturesque garden card...

The Stars At Night

The Stars at Night

Gazing at the stars at night I marvel at their divine beauty,
Knowing that God created them as reflections of His Light.

The stars in a sense serve as light markers to mankind’s
Very existence...

Beach House Girl

Empty coral sheets
Fragrant into absence
Of a stillness warming fonder
And the essence of her...
Lingers longer and longer

My beach house girl
Always breaks away before the dawn
But, ocean breezes seem to whisper back
Her nightgown trails
Are spilling carelessly across...

Falls Walk

As I walk among drifted leaves
watching as a few more fly
One by chance clings to my sleeve
and I'm reminded of years gone by

Where I am deep with in a fall leaf pile
that Grandpa was raking...

Tomorrow Is Too Late

Tomorrow will be too late to pen the imminent
Hold onto the moment and sketch the future

Backdrops must be moved for change
Leads and understudies pass by or fade

Wrest the quill from the bottle, seize your moment…

Parasite Alley

The moon sunk her teeth in a sky of black,
Over city backdrops and the scent of crack,
Neon spilled burning through traffic veins,
Dead man's handles on subway trains.
I tasted of acid in the end of night,

unfocused

Our land of stars and stripes, now glows,
with screens that flicker in hallowed halls.
Entranced humans shuffle, with eyes fixed below,
on small gadgets that have us enthralled.

Should the Statue of Liberty, our symbolic girl,
