Rising each day even when it’s hard,
Open to the little joys that show up.
Walking through life one step at a time
Every instant showing me I’m alive.
Eternity
is the eager
but infertile
earth that
we plant
our seeds
of love and
heaven and
promise in
with the
knowledge
that they
will never
blossom.

Haughtiness* is a formidable tower
ascending toward self-exalted fame
anchored by steel of personal gain
rising through conceit’s brace
projecting gracious meekness
while standing tenaciously
upon sinking ground
of futile superiority
predicament.
*Isaiah 2:11 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

Sorrow is
the night’s rainstorm
lashing an impoverished psyche
wandering lost with loss
‘neath weeping eaves in murky-minded alleyways
without an umbrella.

Retirement is
Like a wind-up toy
going strong
until you unwind
and fall asleep
in mid stride

Of Love
Love oozes, surges
cascades on opulence
rushing with emotive urge,
flows in elegance,
yet fades, becomes feeble, frail,
dries, decays, dies, gets extinct
completing life cycle.

A writer
wondering whether a character acts at his will
is just a character
acting against his will
in the another writer's work
about free will.

Anticipation is like
the gnawing of a
hungry squirrel that
cracks open a nut
with the outcome of
a delighted squirrel
or a rotten nut.

True enlightenment
is revealed
at the top
of the rungs
on the ladder
of your mind
as you ascend
from knowledge
to understanding
to wisdom
and with
a burst
of illumination
you reach
its splendid shore

Chaos is but
a furious gust
of wind blowing
through the desert
glorying order
overwhelmingly
with sand
and dust.
