This Moment

How real can you be…
how prescient can you become

How long can the moment last
—to choose or to then believe

No Time Like the Prescient

   When monokus become molecules
     and Mardi Gras is Mata Hari
   Things start looking pretty scary, so

   If view arm an mis rist
     It tim c optmtris

Pair o' D's

    "The moon’s crescent is prescient"
         sigh I to my love
     "presaging this lovely night's evanescence" 
          
     "Your eloquence is senescent"
         she parodies

Last Canary

Dying in the coal mine ...
 a Poet saw it first
His warning prescient
prenotion strong
To those who listen
to those who hear
The end beginning
— all swans in song

4-Given

The end of my life
brings newfound freedom
 wrapping around me
like the wings of a dream

Lifting me off
and carrying me selfward 
dropping me prescient
—to depths once unseen

A Captive Domain

Can knowledge surpass
a belief you hold true

Diametrically prescient
when thrust unto you

Is faith but the jailer
of transcendence restrained

With truth serving time
—in a captive domain

Omen

OMEN
O’er wintry land bare trees now sway
On wing above, black birds traverse
Occluded skies of baleful grey
Outspreading wings impart a curse 
Omen of darkest consequence
Outcomes perceived by prescient sense
Oppress the spirit, damn the day

A Whisper Brings a Kiss

Emotion is not a word
a whisper brings a kiss

It's passion
touchy feely
an instinct
relating really...

It's prescient
perceptive
fervent 
so sensitive...

It's  sentiment
insight
excitment
feelings alight..

Emotion is not a word
a whisper brings a kiss

Glory Unsung

Victory is a song unwritten,
whose words beget the score

With truth in play, all time relayed,
past battles, future wars

Yesterday winless, tomorrow tied,
the moment zero sum

The hour prescient, each second dear
—glory still unsung

Oxymaria

Most miserable
when she’s happy

Most shameful
when she’s proud

Most prescient
when unconscious

Most distant
 in a crowd

Most forthright
when not speaking

Most giving
when denied

Most secret 
when she’s telling all

Most dead
—but still alive

Raptors Chase

A broken wing
in death’s chicane 
Where pigeons fall
unending pain

A blinded flock
to circle down
As fangs await
both wolves and hounds

While far above
a falcon stalks
Vision prescient
it never balks

A broken wing
once clipped in fear
the raptors chase
—with canids near

Wings of Light

Why then poetry …
why not prose
the answer prescient
to those who know

On wings of light
it comes unsought
abrupting time
on breezes caught

Why then poetry …
the world in verse
within whose lines
the Bards converse

The oldest questions
age sublime
within its torrent
—within its rhyme

Within the Moment

Write it big
Write it strong
Write it eternal,
…a poets song

Make your words clear
Make right from wrong
The message short,
…the meaning long

This time only lent
The whispers uncloud
The opening prescient,
…reasons abound

Write it forever
Write it out loud
Within the moment,
…happening now

Omens

OMENS
O’er wintry land bare trees now sway
On wing above, black birds traverse
Occluded skies of baleful grey
Outspreading wings imparting curse 

Yet outcomes told by prescient sense
With omens of dark consequence
May be belied restoring sight
Of hope; see yon horizon bright

Black and White

Darkness never proffered the pure pleasure of the sun
Its predatory prescient presence was never any fun
The  light of reason helps to show a way to live the night
To guide the steps a man must take  to wake in dawning light
To sleep to dream to plan to live to love to work to build
A stair of  turning upward steps till  darkness is revealed
As nothing more than  simply lack of light

One Came To Neem Funeral Linda Darnall

She wrote Bits N Bots
A terrific, prescient poem
I suffer bots, bots, ads, and data thieves
(We all might be the last)
But she came with bouquet of words
To the funeral of my tree
There were only four attending:
My wife, myself, one neighbor, & Linda
Social media, life, friends keep us busy
I understand
Not everyone can come to 
Unusual
Funerals
Still ...  do think of our environment
Always

In The Wings

There’s knowledge
in the world
for only 
the captive

Insight
on the other
hand
prescient to roam 

No ceiling
to happiness
but a floor
to sorrow

Direction
a vagrant
that goes 
where it goes

Spoken 
in cadence
our oaths
are rechanted

Carrying
voices
through moments 
on loan

Traveling
together
in blind
expectation

Questions
awaiting
in freedoms
—unknown

Restorying Peace

There seems to be,
at least for me,
an important difference
between wanting to change 
properties
and their traumatized people,
and wanting to heal 
toxic feelings and beliefs.

When I exhale
into
and on
and under,
side by side
and through
and inside Earth's therapeutic climate,
I do not expect to change Earth culture,
but I do hope to heal too passive separation,
lack of deep breathing 
synergetically together
prescient intimacy.

The Big Guy Clerimerick

Joseph Robinette Biden
for years he's been quite a statesman
as senator then as vice-president,
now POTUS he thinks himself prescient. 

He is our own President Biden,
when his lips move you know he is lyin',
he thinks we don't see
he's mad as can be~
no joke, this country is dyin'.

The Big Guy will jail his number one rival
to ensure his own political survival.
He is without moral integrity,
which way the wind blows there he will be!

On the Button

When buying clothes with buttons
Often they include a spare,
So if you find one missing
You’re all set for the repair.

It’s quite a handy custom,
For a button often pops
And usually we’re unaware
Of how and where it drops.

Providing extra buttons
Is both prescient and astute,
Preventing people’s wasting time
In matching-up pursuit.

I wish that other sellers
Would adopt this policy;
I’d never miss an earring
If each pair instead had three!

Seeking the Sought

My missing gloves turned up today
(Good thing – I was distraught)
Inside the pockets of a jacket
I forgot I bought.

The lesson of this incident
Is that we really ought
To leave no stone unturned
Until we find what we have sought.

A search that’s merely cursory
Will yield, as wisdom’s taught,
A disappointing outcome,
All your efforts come to naught.

But diligence will show results
That laziness has fought,
So “seek and ye shall find” remains
A wise and prescient thought.
