You Are a Miracle

Neighbor,
A miracle you are
Your democratic smiles
Expel my courage
Whenever you scatter them on me
Could you stop without negotiated conditions
I want peace!

Vicious virus afflicting the world

Innocence gone from boys from girls

Death denial never killing love

Raftsman

From primal atavism
            Navigating the procela
            with strong courage and faith
              sailboat will sail

              Neptune Counterpart
              tame dark sea
              ancient pirogue raft

Whiteboard

A big whiteboard fills you, me and space.
We hover around with markers in our hands
And squeeze courage to make lines on the 
Plane. How heavy the marker is and how 
Dusty the eraser is. How large the board is
And how stationary I am, in that one corner.

A Letter To My Youth

Have no regrets, my fearless one
   Live life with honesty and courage
Find your love and hold it tight
   Help someone else, if you can

Judge not, those around you
   Gain insight and understanding
Live in the present
   Fear not, the passage of time

Angry Rising Tide

One school shooting in Alabama
  And another in Louisiana

Here's a protest in the park
  That's gone on and on past dark

There's an angry rising tide 
  Demanding gun-violence to subside

New Beginning

New beginning,
on path unknown 
to lead alone,
with fearsome courage,
and dissolving hurt.

New sunrise over the mountain,
pulling into adventures,
moving with streaming water,
leaving the loss,, the art I've mastered

I have a story to tell, I survived the deadly storm.

When Thunder Roars

When thunder roars in sky
everyone finds place to hide
when lightning flashes its eyes
all believe its searching for him
Yet humans build weapons
that boom as thunder in hillside
and flash great lights and flames
as lightning in faraway skies
then who holds gourd of courage?

Under the Bridge

Passerby echo the frustrations of the world
Under the bridge
Tall tales of courage
Outpours from angry souls
Yet the toughest of them all still hide
Under the bridge
Grass roots & neo-souls speak words
In the form of hyperboles
Leaving actions hidden like water
Under the bridge

Old Monster's Remorse

Psychosomatic memories
Sweating in Indian summer 
Burying bones wrapped in a golden locket
And the dirt does ruin its shine
Just as a heatwave burns autumnal beauty 

And it's so very shameful 
That I let my hate conquer you 
I wish I had the courage
To let my heart bleed with you

Heart of the Kettle

For me, it's not courage
or a lack of it
that keeps me hanging
'round. 

When I boil it
down, it's love in the bottom
of the kettle that keeps me
breathing. 

I don't think it is
possible to love too much;
but man, I feel like I've been
breathing for a long damn time.

The Rock of Courage - Five Lines

True courage is a firm and steady rock
Amid the quicksand of sinking despair
If you are bogged down with worry and care
And really wish to get away from there
Stand on the rock and get out of the muck

The Phoenix

Your scarlet, sacred wings doth spread.
Plumes of fire and of gold.
Your past burnt ashes you do not dread.
Your majestic rise is long foretold.
   
Not bound by your destined fate,
Your glorious ascend we do await.
 
With courage and boldness in your eyes,
From flames of doom you do arise.
