...God bless the searchers
wandering through this maze
that we call yesterday and today
the pollen of living on their bee faces
they flicker into our lives
then back to shadow for awhile
their sky...

Stray Thoughts

...The clairvoyant could be a schizophrenic
or is it the other way around.
Mind cymbals of the mime must be unbearably loud
flowers are for glade and not the lapel of blue clowns.
Is it better for a...

Pivoting toward the light

...
When things are turning dark,
try pivoting toward the light. 

Nothing grandiose-no great secrets revealed 
Just a simple pivot of the wayward mind
until the shine comes back into view.

In The Matter of Nothing

...Heaven could be like an infinite holiday
without grief and burden of war 
without physical or emotional pain

Moscow I

...It caters to an arrogance of hate
when war becomes a method of despite.
Through vile contempt, he seeks to cultivate
a dogma that defines inhuman blight.
The devil’s plan has given due consent

inception

...Inception 

A near accident almost run over by a train
old heart, she collapsed in my arms
wrapped her in a blanket, looked asleep
we drove thro' the  long night headlights
made a temporary tun...

My Way Or N A

...Often, I enter a contest
I enter the ones I like best
But one sponsor said

Another said stand in a bucket
Write Latin, or I’m...

...You've meant so deeply much; within my desire
If I could present a world or build an empire
It would be so easy to secretly conspire
In a way that you would not find hard to admire

A Reassessment of Differing Views

...Some feel that Bible verse conclusively
Describes all life explained through liturgy.
Some feel that evolution holds the key
With science leading forth explicitly.

Eyes Like Yours Set All Apart

...Set smoke, so sweet, so delicate
Something fuliginous, so intricate
Ocher bronze is all that I can see

Spheres of the purist maple syrup

has draped the virtue of a virgin dawn
while carnivores, entombed beneath the dust,
unleash to prey upon a heedless fawn.

Twas a Voice, Schoolmasterly

...Scale a bough; and hold onto this
Astoundment, forevermore.
A curtain of leaf, parted for:
Life, and its glory, nested.

So in this world have I placed you.
With loving care, and foresight;
