Premium Member Dream Sanctuaries
I dream into my Ta(0)ist
not-Universal Yang equals
not-Unitarian Yin
Sanctuary,
expecting to be greeted
by visions
of familiar spiritual apartheid.

But I am not.
Instead,
communion in this Sanctuary
looks and resounds,
feels and resonates
with multicultural communities outside,
tilting GoldenRule windmills,
bowing toward Eastern nondual rainbows,

Sharpened pens were brutal swords; a war was forged
Blow after blow was struck, with blood rage engorged
Not one single word between them had been spoken
No flag of truce waved, or friendship offered as token

Nothing was...

Premium Member Sighting Through the Crosshairs
Our Constitution, page-by-page, provides a guide from age-to-age.
As citizens our views consist of strict or loose constructionists.

Catastrophic predictions for humanities future
Another universal wound that needs an international suture

A non linear approach to living by an exhibitionist social vulture

Letter From Vietnam
A quivering shadow shrouding a clouded pane
Shared pain scribbled in the doleful rain
Hollow words that broker heartache and disdain
A sorrowful whistle emanating from a distant train
Poorly trained recruits struggling above the furor to remain
Stridently striving...

It soared,
High up in the sky, 
 causing the blink of every eye,

 scaling tree and mountains divides.

The other night I dreamed of spiraling downward,
But the earth delayed rising up to receive me.

Panicked people pour into the streets pushing past each other; they’re powerless
Against the awful atrocity unleashed by unknown armed assailants.
Normalcy has fled; so many in the debris are left lying dead!

Don't weep-she's a tough old broad
she's been through all of this before
the riots-plagues-and socialist rot
9-11 and two ugly world wars
