Short Bigness Poems

The Lone Star State

Texas
displays bigness,
roses and bluebonnets
a few past U.S. Presidents 
cowboys.

There once was a big spider
Rupert was his name,
He worked real hard to be a guard 
in the hall of fame.

Rupert was not stupid
caught bugs with much surprise,
Though fans could never see this
for Rupert’s huge in size.

Most famous for his bigness
sending many frantic,
He autographs as he laughs 
Love Rupert the Gigantic!

wishing i knew.
i know nothing 
but know
that i am
wishing this 
something we
all know.

it with no name
but confines us
to the four walls
of this wishing 
room of madness.

i sometimes know
this something 
but it's bigness
is larger than
all life.

And at this moment
of knowing what 
it is that we all
are wishing i know
its beauty is more.

so wishing is more
than what we can 
ever have when 
wishing is something
bigger than us.
