You
A big inquiry!
You right now are not you years ago
You were you/s
Totally or not is another big inquiry....

must be a refuge
in deserted mountains
loneliness of the eagles
remain in minds

no inquiry 
in some experience...

satires to correct ill in society
metaphors to wake the drowsy
hyperbole to inquiry into justice
ironies to point the right way
imagism to ask for attention...

of summer…fall winterspring

The sun still shines
    bells yet chime

  Vintners make wine
    constellations align

  Hearts intertwine
    even poetry rhymes

  Are you still my Valentine?...

What just brushed past me?
Like wheat pricked, dry.
The sky, she said.
Ah, and some wonder why.
We drink! ‘Til vision of inquiry pales.
Palled upon the violet sky bales....

Luna 



A full moon 
Under the sun
As old as day is young
Youthful eyes for enthusiasm 
Golden beams blossom with inquiry

This is our front (some say bureaucracy)
You must behave professionally
Do as you're bidden and keep the folks in charge well hidden from inquiry.
Above all, please remember
competency is
forbidden....

Being humble
Gives mind space
Set mark up high.

Gratitude means
Plain attitude
Clear bright way sign.

Where the road ends
Inquiry search
To go beyond.

Under the sun
All can be done
With zealous hand....

Another day in the neighborhood
Quizzically reaching out to
Understand the world about,
Alert to mysteries,
Remembering to smile
In the midst of the inquiry
Until, sated in energy,
Solitary silence heals again....

while I sleep deeply
my imagined world comes to life
my environment has darkened 
as a result of my waking
who am I?
an artist! 
a poet! 
a singer! 
a dreamer!

Love with all your being
Love without hesitation
Inquiry, debating
Love with all your senses
All that you can and are capable of
Love without work
Cause or comprehending
Love without reservation
Apprehension, motivation
Love now and always
Love all...

Cultish leanings..

There is attachment to

The mysteries of life

Embodied..seemingly in

A pedestaled attraction..

Add beliefs of import and

Shadowed conspiracies..

A religion start-up..?

All dismantled by inquiry

Into the Self we are......

A morning looking in a coffee cup,
My soul is asking questions of the heart,
As destiny reveals itself in art,
Should inquiry find truth in crumpled dreams,
And bring the eye to look so gently up,
The heart must be ready to flow soul streams.

please, would you kindly teach me how to make sense?
write me up a list of ingredients?
i need rest
i need rest
should i preheat the oven to 1,400 degrees?
maybe it'll bake better if i watch more closely?
i need rest
i need rest
i forget the rest
i forget the rest....

Out from the kaleidoscopic tesseract,  
Pours coruscating crystals whose edges contract.
A turn of the cylindrical vessel in the vain, 
Splits the sight into three of the eyes in the brain.
I talked to the man who says one times two is a dozen,
Not knowing which sense sometimes seems it doesn’t....

Lying in the street
Bleeding to death
Pleading for life
Not any Medicare
Or Inquiry 
Offender at large,
No burial or cremation
An innumerable number of tires
Run over the dead body
Justice is beyond the reach
Of the loved ones 
The life of every animal matters,
be the motto of the motorists....

Iv'e heard there are some, who wish to do
A cancelling of 't' the very first letter; at the 
Beginning Of true.'
I got into a puzzle of thought; and guess.?
Till upon inquiry there was help no less'
It seems,  there is afoot?
A sort of plan' if it's removed from 'treason'
Some won't carry the can!

paradox ignites inquiry
separation of miles
simultaneous expression
heart, diamond, seven
sympathetic origins
obscured talents revealed
matriarchal lineage proffers
activation of decoded language
awakening old ways, water ways
path ways of vainglorious movement
ebb and flow of awareness
inquiry satisfied...

I have had people who claimed to be my friend,
who wouldn't give me a chance to explain a misunderstanding.
They judged me,
without further inquiry.
That most certainly is no friend to me,
and I would like to thank each and every one of them personally,
for making me aware that they are simply not worth my time and energy....
