chasing each other,
feel the soothing breeze,
listen to where the waters meet....

When there is no sign of storms
We fear existence
The moment of time ticking past
Inevitably, we find ourselves
Seeking comfort in the past
Because that’s all we know

Our traits of today will be obsolete,
We progress with time or be a misfit,
Most are limited and are bittersweet.
The ills and cures of our modern cultur...

a pin-cushioned thumbtack
stuck in my ways
like a stick in the mud

flapping my wires

Who Are You
...Who are you,
To judge what I do,

To act as if you have a clue,

This skin from deep within…
I’m thin and then…
I’m fat with loath again…
Greed I feed on
Envy and so on…

A dusked dawn…
I don’t feel pity

His great love of Nature, family and life can
cause my heart to rise up and sin...
