and he, he sees yours-

STANZA ONE
He had the heart of a lion
And the strength of a bear
Ripping his enemies apart
He would crush and tear
Man of steel
With charm and grace
No one can dare confront him
Or look at his face
He is...

"Horus in Paradise"



In dreams 
I met you in Paradise 

I called you
Blue Sky

You were an 
Angel in disguise

Horus, White Light

A mind inquisitive will find

And at Camden had crushed the lines

Except the Swamp Fox Marion
Who alone was able to persist.

South Carolina had fallen,
And...

Evolved from apes.

Horatio Haiku Horn

What was a haiku
Did it get all over you
Or was I all wrong.

Unless a bright bird.

If you knew haiku

Jung coined the term ‘synchronicity’,
Never really thought it applied to me.
Somebody crazy, maybe? Not me!
Coincidence they’ll have you believe.

Each segment is a memory 
Brought through the veil by synchronicity.

In a small Iowa town, picturesque,
as some would put, is a farm
so let me continue on a bit,

His sturdy boat towards the middle
Of the cursed lake where once
His wife fell into the icy water
And drowned.  He could not swim.

Aim to answer the big questions and go—
beyond the scope of science and religion,
challenging assumptions and beliefs.

Define concepts and terms,
explore the arguments and evidence,
find the flaws and fallacies,
