Flickering, gentle light,
that comes and chains itself to the ground,
slips through the forest like a trespasser
to lick the pond that consoles itself.
The trees step aside, modest,
lifting their heads toward the sky
so they won’t interrupt the picnic
that the light offers to its beloved.
But the light leaves.
You cannot fall asleep,
so the forest tightens around you
to keep you from suffering.
I search for my heart, unarmed,
a clearing to tame,
a pond where my tears may drown,
far from everything, far from harm, where joy is remade.

| NOUS |
Nous venons
Nous errons
Et nous allons
C'est tout ce que nous savons.
Nous venons sur terre
Nous errons sur la terre
Et nous partons sans rien
Sans argent, de sous et de biens.
Bonjour, nous disons
Nous discutons, rions et chantons
Et nous nous échappons sans rien
Sans frères et sœurs, jetons et liens.

Oh, Nous,*
You, divine faculty of perception
Mother of conception
Source of understanding
Gate of Wisdom
Without your presence deaf and blind I would be
Perpetually. oblivious to truth eternal!

* Nous\, n. [ from Greek] (Philosophy) Reason; is the highest intellect;
God is regarded as the World's Reason.
If you ever can dance
En français s’il vous plaît
Avec les enfants
Get in on, let the walls fall along
See all the colors
See all the little ones
Writing love notes on the elder’s wall
Peace no longer can you forestall
Je marche dans mes rêves
I cry for all the dying and the dead
Birds are flying children crying
The winds of change will come a flying
We are one, l'amour c'est toi
L'amour, tous qui rêvent d’avenir
It’s only a childs heart
That holds humanity dear
Destiny
Holds us together
Division
Murs that drive us apart
Kids United
Singing for a new start
Sur ma route
C'est possible; c'est tout.
Bailar
A Collaboration with Arthur Vaso
There is Wisdom
And then there is Intelligence.
The difference?
Indifference.
(Thefragmentedgenius)
hid in my triad
is an ellipsis thought-pause-
where,what when,not why
Summer past its best
pampas reaching heavenward
trees about to rest-
Japanese anemone
as far as my eye can see
Brian Strand 6 Sept
Repose
simplicity,
shelter glows a warm light-
a hearth becomes a home where love
burns bright
Home..that familiar place
to light a downcast face
Home..a place to learn & grow up
to drink slowly at life's cup
Home..sometimes filled with tears
where we confront our fears
Home..to be open and real
and tell it as we feel
Home..somewhere to dream & wish,
somewhere to hug & kiss
Home..a place to live & die
somewhere to mourn & cry
Home..furnished by love' s touch
bedecked in comforts we trust so much
