Mahatma Gandhi
Civil disobedience as modus operandi
The British, oh so superior
Ended up on their right royal posterior!

Premium Member Developing Negatives

Developing Negatives

When life appears gloomy
Patiently wait for the picture
Unfolding in the dark room

Amidst the developing medium
The negative transforms to ...
A gift of indescribable beauty.

Premium Member The Space Between


 
Twixt sky and Sea
Field, valley and tree
Whether tethered or free
Whatever sight we see
 
Never a glimpse we glean
Of what is and has been
Vast unknown & unseen
The space in between

Proceeding

5/20/15




No longer dreaming
Just proceeding
Without cheating
I am achieving
More than I ever was believing
Every single evening

Now my impressions are leaving
Even more meaning
To other human beings
While I am still breathing

Premium Member Airs and Graces


Airs and Graces
On their faces
A gaze down the nose
Other silly shows

Illusions of grandeur
A grand amour
Of self deception
False Perception

Take a better look
We are the open book
Their airs and graces
Reflected on our faces.

Premium Member Present Peace


 
Peace is the presence here
Our deepest longing and fear
So noisy thoughts and shouldfulness
Yield a cover of forgetfulness
When we forget the striving
The cunning and conniving
Release judgment and resent
Then peace is our present.

J. Frank Dalton (1842-1951)

He rode a twisted trail, 
He lied a tortured, fact-faked tale
Of Jesse James and unexpected shames
Of Quantrill’s carnage, powder-smoke and flames. 

 He wasn’t who he said—
He wasn’t Jesse James, long dead
But something gaudier and grander yet 
Imposter-champion none can forget.

Everybody Owns An Office

Everybody owns an office,
Though not already swiveling its chair;
Everybody, custodian of some promise,
To think differently, simply unfair.

The yet-to -be jangling -the keys to -it
Isn't to be dismissed as unfit
Between Mr. Dalton and Lady Eunice,
All repositories of some gift
Before their last breaths have it surface
If not stupendously, more than a bit.

Premium Member Right Or Wrong

Right or Wrong?

If I were right?
Yet you felt Wrong
Would it mean you didn't belong?

Could I ever be right?
If I judged you wrong?
Would it mean I didn't belong?

Did God make me right?
Or did He make you wrong?
If so where would God belong?

If I were an expressions of light?
You a magnificent expressions of night?
Where would that illusive wrong or right belong?

Straight From the Heart

1/6/17


I'd like to raise a toast

Life ain't a joke
Been trying to stay afloat
And make the most
While I see another night and day approach
Near and far from any trains and boats
Not one to rely on faith or hope
Opportunities you either take or don't
Time you never want to waste or loaf


Straight from the heart
Is how I paint my art

But now I raise the bar
As I star gaze from afar

Premium Member Color Dance

Blood runs red in every race
War bring tears to every creed
Hunger felt by every being
Love desired by every heart
 
Green envy or generosity
Vengeful snares and forgiving
Nightmares give desires to dream
Dancing twixt joy & despair
 
Colorful array of emotions
So much in common
Do you see me in you
Your reflection in me?
 
We are  rainbow children 
Painting the canvas of life
Compassion sees the art
In the unique dance of us
