Stoned At the Symposium
A blaze of years, into the kernel of 20 minutes, in front of a crowd praying to see
You made a monument to your past, not to our future
One chose to entertain, another to introduce, a third to baptize in blood
Waiting for the day my petals bud
To discern a nightlight from a fireball
And coo back what

A Symposium
I.
Come my son, sit
Join this party in a remembrance feast
Take part in our holy communion
Come, take part in our joyful tears of merry union
Sit with us and speak as one mouthpiece of the spirit
And pray against the times of ill
For the sake of your days of youth not yet lived
II.
The strength of the farmer is

A Symposium of Sun
The summer has its mission at hand.
A commitment to change lives.
Sitting there smoking and thinking.
With a light that makes up the sunset.
The warmth given with no strings tied.
Yet will run short come the winter snow.
But the blues can't last against the shine.
The noon day sun begins to have power.
And in the sky a shimmering rainbow.
That

Symposium
"Symposium"
where do you go
when you try to
dream your place
in my life
gone now
from your
quicksand shores
once I rolled over
placed my mouth
against your throat
what used to be
as if you
could transfer
some voice back into me
I was so naive
missing the signs
in it all
The Great Tragedy
but you are a ghost now
and

Symposium
Skinned shins on tree skins,
Space-viewed landscapes of rust and paint
Showing mirrored continents imagined;
Worlds within worlds at every turn,
Outlines of Octopi on Oil slicked streets;
Every post and pole or stone a step:
Sat on, walked on, laid on and more.
Touching the Earth like a hungry whore,
Hands and sweet souls searching,
Yearning for

Symposia
The symposia on health
Will be on the weekend
Join us and bring a friend
Your body is your wealth
Addresses healthy food
Boiled water as example
Less fat, carbs than the apple
And no need to be chewed
With free t-shirt and ham
And some other offers
Please spread it to the others
Rest assured it's not a sham

Wellness Symposium
Welcome to our symposium on wellness
Showcasing life as God’s gift so precious
For faith-builders and body-weight conscious
Adding more zest to a person’s fitness.
In this conference are seasoned speakers
Who will share their successful health stories
In conquering stress and diet worries
To become grateful blessing-partakers.
Let’s delight in the convention’s fruition
That promotes meaningful life-enjoyment
Along blissful reaching-out engagement
Spreading God’s love* toward

A Symposium of Feelings
a symposium of feelings
an interchange of emotions
a discussion of differing opinions
a collection of alternate points of view
a form for change
a form for growth
a form for open honest communication
is what once occurred
now the lines of communication
have been severely severed
