Long Reshaped Poems

Day 1:

It's my life's work
To ponder my worth 
So tiring I mostly sit...

within the hourglass of time,

Under inexorable gravity’s pull,
galaxies often move toward one another.
Closer and closer they come to each other,
till astronomic smashups happen in full.

For no less than two of them, possibly three,
such a scenario has been predicted,
as computer...

Mist swirls through 
my legs as I hunt.
The moon,
little more than half full
casts creature like shadows
through the woods
as if the trees were alive..

a breeze meandering through the grass...
a baby blue sky, an occasional cloud shaped and reshaped,

the church job description
of educator and
director of parish...

We the people find the Internet blended
Melted hearts, reshaped and mended,
As triumph falls where we heard the calls of dead ends expended.
The very same streets, once emptied,
Now filled with...

Moving through ancient gorges,
	Molding and shaping solid shades of gray granite…
Soft and round, 
Craggy and sharp,
Here and There…

Solid rock thrusting up 
Shaped by shifting currents of the river
		Rising and...
