Of their will, on their face, to join with me;

Robotic Ascension - Part 1

It was a grey day more or less on planet earth,
But earth’s robots hardly noticed at all
Robot logic so tuned into ones and zeros,
On and off, grey matter is of little interest

And prospered across large swathes of Indian territory

Water kept gushing out of the roots exposing the living truth

Already hampered with its yet to be unlocked secrets

Home to President Woodrow Wilson
Ivy scaled Monmouth’s outer walls
Laughter of youth from decades past
Resonated in marble-floored halls

The theater building was set apart
Further down Cedar Avenue
Another spirit stalked the stage
Where college actors made debuts

A gift from...

It started out as just a lark
Just a flirtation in the park
But suddenly we'd lit a spark
Enough to make the doggies bark

And on a search for that lost ark

Clouds are floating to add color...

I Hunger For Your Touch

I hated sailing away from you when duty called,
but love, I'm headed home; a prisoner now free.
Battered and wounded by war, my body mauled,
I pray you will be upon the shore, waiting for me.
