silent issues

humanity
and the hypocrisy
of soft tissues

openly
running out of paper rolls
secretly
disgrace on humanity's cheeks silently rolls

there's a monument
on earth
to the unknown soldier

there's a monument
in the firmaments
to the unknown child 

a well known secret

a hood by night...

Meandering meadows broken by a tossing garbling brook…boulders embossing...marbling and moss flossing

Awoken whispers spoken..cantankerous coughing eddy wheezes..then a curmudgeonly icy mirror hush

Reckoning breezes yield cats' paws beckoning…teases across the flanking field

Fairies’ wield spells conveyed in...

Someone very dear unto myself asked me the other day

"Is the sun shining where you are?"

So I took a crystal glance, into an oblong box....

CHRYSALIS


Sitting in silent reverence 
I gaze upward towards your galaxy...
The endless canopy stretched out
Before all eyes...
An infinite splendor of 
Light, energy, portals, stars
Mysterious unknown spaces

Silent notes fill my soul
Playing my heartstrings
Reminding me of ancient memories...

A lovely day, the eighth of May, with sunshine and light breeze
You could not tell, that all’s not well and we felt safe at ease
A little blip, a video clip, showed damage way out west
But...

nor is there a golden illuminated future for a fruitless mind.
Trembling hands and gritted teeth disguise my disorderly brain, 
feeling lost in the mist,...

Here we go around to explore bargains,
This downtown shopping brings sure encounters;
We loiter these grounds with mindset laid plain,
Leafing and breezing through noisy clutter.


We take our sweet time to look and enjoy,
No need to hurry...

Firm old man
Obstinate ways;
Will and testament


Lawyer consult
Due diligence;
Making a will


Retirement daze
So much to learn;
At my own pace


Human nature
To nurture;
Null and void


Means testing
Between old flames;
Wants and needs clash


Beauty greets
Truth is silent;
Love presides


Calm in chaos,
Stillness moves;
Cause and...

The wind exhales then breathes in deep
It swallows the leaves as the willow weeps
Swimming in all Her earthly sounds
No longer green, leaves touch the ground
The limbs are never completely bare
Like old man oak is losing...

My people are shipwrecks,
they have faces long crushed by tanks.
Many are landlocked,
a few were too oceanic
they got broken by dry-docked hearts.
Most were blitzed by smokescreens.

The trees and industrial units
are so tightly packed,
that snow can only...

passion rolls in on storm clouds
the thunder heart rumbles and roars
the lightning touch 
its electric
sizzling on grounds skin
raising grass hairs and goose flesh roots
the deep earthy core is yearning
as hurried breath blows 
areas once covered...

The grass, just about dry, 
 is canary, clothed in evening sun, 
now sinking beyond the colorful portrait,
canvassed on nature’s abundant spread;
a brilliant form, painted by fall’s seasoned fingers. 

The cool breeze funnels through valleys...

Disappearing like the straggling stars
of morning, all the discontent of winter
fades before the multifarious data
streaming from the light-filled cupola above.
It funnels into every mind, resisted only
by that most persistent ignorance
selected with our daily bread.

There are...

The sea of boundless Oneness
Cognised by ascending consciousness 
Transitioning to pure awareness

We are as such in stark aloneness
Within deep meditational stillness 
Our form blending with our formlessness 

The beginning is non thought presence
In humble innocence
