worshipping the ash
Changing paper into smoke

Remembering the present,
forgetting the past
Turning into the other
—the moment recast

your heart around the past
your hope around tomorrow’s wish

Death indicts you
seasons past

Life remortgaged
debt remains
time indentured
—hope reclaimed
(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
Hugh Hefner, also known as 'Hef'
To most females was quite tone-deaf
He recast grown women as fawning bunnies
Who drooled over his scantily-clad wad of money
Having less
suffering more
Doors were slamming
wolf at the door
Arriving first
finishing last
Spiraling downward
— perdition recast
(The New Room: February, 2025)
Losers dwell
in misery’s past
Winners reach
for tomorrow recast
Cowardice hides
from every new dawn
Where freedom awaits
— the brave and the strong
(Dreamsleep: November, 2025)
Saved those who sailed before the mast
All part of California’s past
Old lens has been removed
Taken to Cambria’s city
Next to Lawn Bowling Club made fast
For show and tell has been recast
The 4th dimension,
space and time
Godel agreed,
Einstein opined
If set in motion,
the future passed
Time self negated
—its truth recast
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
Memory
is
tomorrow’s
filter
Straining our
history
distilling the
past
Each year
a screen
on what
becomes us
On what
eludes us
our fate
— recast
(Dreamsleep: September, 2025)
Two halves
from the middle
each end joins the past
Memory’s essence
the moment recast
Each second
or hour
lost victims of fate
Time off the table
— not early or late
(Dreamsleep: June, 2025)
Sure, sunlight we love,
Love life and its every move,
Not sun, moon we love.

Poet's note: Recast with a changed title from Who The Roots Love, in May 2021
Only the dead
know the end of war
Cursing the living
to forever endure
Rich people gifted
to hide in the past
Where nightmare’s amend
— their terror recast
(Tribute To George Santayana: January, 2026)
Let go of your
hand grip
let go of
the past
Take fate as
a lover
betrothed
and recast
Your belt
and suspenders
restrict
and constrain
Release
your indemnity
free
—once again
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Memories
of the future
Stolen
from the past
Caught within
tomorrow’s web
All of time
recast
Moment
after moment
Living
on the run
Embracing all
that’s come to be
And all
—that’s yet to come
(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)
Rearranging discordant thoughts
memories fall in place
Like keys upon a Steinway
awaiting my embrace
Sharp notes lead, the flats behind
as I replay the past
Chords when struck connecting all
—in harmonies recast
(Dreamsleep: June, 2023)
No more need to ‘write it down’
Think a thought and just like that
It pops up on a screen…
Eye and hand coordination
A relic of the past
Soon we’ll not have bodies either
AI has life recast
Nothing much said
Rejig what's paid
No news to pitch
Bad tales then hitch
Recast the bad
Sales up not bad
Newsprint seeds poise
Hurl mouth of choice
Puff pungent smoke
Tragic news poke

The dead never get to say goodbye,
as they charge across the line
Finality left to those who live,
still victimized by time
The dead never get to say hello,
a bust that’s now recast
Their sacrifice a milepost
—beyond the futurepast
(Valley Forge: January, 2021)
Like wine uncorked to breathe the air,
my heart and mind become
The richness of this life I’ve lived,
all fortune on the run
Not looking back, but looking in,
the key to feelings past
Where hides a treasure, memory locked
—its legacy recast
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
Light without contrast, deep darkness
Not quite our comfort zone
Can we remain in this starkness
Coming into our own
Is complete our release
Do we flow on with ease
Unfettered, like the breeze
Old concepts recast
Light without contrast

Quietus
Like wine uncorked to breathe the air,
my heart and mind become
The richness of this life I’ve lived,
a fortune e’er begun
Not looking back, but looking in,
the key to feelings past
Where hides a treasure, memory locked,
—a legacy recast
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)
let's get up with a deep breath
while it's still morn
and cast our own bright sun
not let this gloomy day
dictate a sour mood
let's you and I
jump up with joy
and infuse our day
with fun and laugh
and wild adventure
until exhausted
we paint ourselves
a most magnificent
well earned sunset

Red kite loses flight
Bump bump bumping through the grass
She runs to recast
Kite snags on a jagged rock
Rips a hole inside girl’s heart

A big thanks to Andrea for her ideas and suggestions over the past year that have made my writing better :)
If my eyes behold thee
your spoils meet my loins
yet the spaces find its stream
travelling through lands
Just once
I lived in the craddle
launched my fears
soiled my neck
recast my scenes
just to say never
just once I live
Laughing at the size of life
taking turns when I expect naught
just once I live
Life is once
