Lemons and Life
Of all the songs
You seem to be
The tuneless one,
Less subtlety.
God's orchestra
Has dealt a hand—
More toneless rasp
Than golden strand.
I wonder if
You long to be
A star
In morning's reverie.
Do tears well up?
Perhaps that's why
You paddle more
Than flit and fly.
And yet…
I see you
Standing proud—
Such confidence
In every crowd.
You waddle round,
For pictures pose—
Such character
Without a nose.
You dress with style,
All brown and

Prove and Learn
I have heard eternal fires burn
With notes of lessons yet to learn,
And bathed in Basho’s lyric streams
Of Summer, Winter, Fall and Spring
I have climbed the lichen cliffs unseen
And heard that tranquil rhythmic theme
While watching herds of elk below
And never thought to draw my bow
For there in Father’s well-laid score
Was harmony displayed, and more.
It was

A Silly Little Limerick
I can't really write a sonnet
But if you want a limerick i'm on it
And if I had to write without rhymezone
My mind would have blown
Therefore I have to reliable upon it

Awareness Self-Aware
We cannot often enough
smoothens out our edges rough,
down to the subtlest layer,
in gentle, mindful prayer.
Continuous correction
steers consciousness direction,
aligned with the throb of love,
as tidings of God’s peace dove.
To this end, our will we bend,
that we may here now ascend,
transmuting form as God’s light,
bliss ensconced, to heart’s delight.
Each breath grants to us a chance
to make

Self-Aware Awareness
Sans thought, awareness is ~
self-existent bliss fizz,
bubbling forth from within,
magnetic heat throbbing,
creeping under our skin.
Sans thought, awareness is ~
entwined with That oneness,
in but not of the world,
vibrant in pulse dual,
as flag of love’s unfurled.
Sans thought, awareness is ~
presence, God-energised,
melding with the current,
imbibing divine grace;
there then no deterrent.
Sans thought, awareness is ~
the primal vibration,
both still and

Self Aware
if I know,
Not really though,
I don't even trust my judgement as far as I can throw.
What the hell do I know?
I mean,
My abilities are there,
But my determination is zero.
Motivated to stay sober,
But adulting?
How is it so hard to be my own hero?
If I don't do something about this rage quit demon,
I'll become the villain.
I want

Will Computers Become Self-Aware
Don't believe computers will ever become self-aware
With all the advances in technology, we'll never be there
Humans have an advantage
A function our brain has implanted
Can't predict the future, also logic we won't share

Do Not Date a Writer
Do not date a writer,
As she will write about every detail.
She will write about how she helped you with your meds
At 3 am when she could-
And should have been sleeping.
Or how she held you
When you needed it
And scratched your head
Just right.
Or she’ll write about
How she always made your
breakfast

Self Aware
The most troubling moment
Is when we see our selves clear
We must salvage and own it
We must battle the fear
Flaws come in sight
Jaws of the night
They are even more clear
When you turn on the light
They won’t disappear
Like our childhood fears
Irrational terrors
From our younger years
Very much real
Unyielding steel
Once discovered
We foot the bill
You’ll never rewind
You’re no

I am too self-aware, I know many of my flaws
They pick and they prod with luck, until I fall
They are ingrained like the rings of a tree
They grow like weeds through a crack in concrete
They flow like the water below, to supply a well
They are secretively silent, waiting to be tapped,
They go all the
