Down The Street, As I Was Drifting With The City's Human Tide

Down the street, as I was drifting with the city's human tide,
No uplifting, inspiration, naught to sway what's deep inside,
Unchecked be I, street-smart am I, though a drifter sort...Read More

Am considerating signing up 
For a beginners class in Tai Chi but
Not sure it's for me
My old bones agree
The will is here but the bod needs a nudge

I asked our local Unitarian-Universalist minister
if she could see God
as Original Creative Source of Earth (OCSE).

Eventually,
after a rather long pause,
peaceful, not anxiety producing,
she said Yes.

I asked the Shiloh Baptist Bishop
if he could know God
as Abba,
as did Jesus of Nazareth.

He thought...Read More

Mai Tai Madness

~Oh, my friend, Gloria!~

Funny~till drinks made her totally unstable.
We nearly got killed in her car!
When on the Golden Gate Bridge,
she screamed" I left my sweater
back at the bar."

Making a U-turn in the middle of
the Golden Gate Bridge at...Read More

Acha, achey sey samjha raha hu bas dhayan laga kar samajna 
Kyuke is key baad dubara nah puchna.
Haan, woh ladki meri dost hai
Anmol sa rishta hai humara,
Geheri si dosti hai humari
Par haan, woh ladki sirf meri dost hai.
Dekha hoga apne...Read More

i'm supposed to be
a man of words
absurdly called
a poet

i believe the old lines
in rhyme are
i'm a poet but
don't know it

hoping that that is
public domain
so please don't
sue me

but I find myself which
is usually hard to
do but i did and
i was looking

Days of walking in the conservation area,
With relatives and friends.

You would walk along the shores and view the lilies,
They would unfold and smile at you.

Their perfect shape and the green liiy pad,
 You hear the sounds of the environment.

Walking along...Read More

The sun shines brightly, the day is a vision of loveliness,
Blossoms on the trees that look beautiful.

The green grass is sprouting slowly to become a carpet of green,
The dandelions smile at you, their spheres of yellow compared to the sunlight.

It’s been said a million times before…but since we know time can be fleeting
‘Take pleasure in the little things’ is a phrase that’s worth repeating.

As an illustration of this point I offer now to you
a day that was filled with...Read More

Hubby decamped,
Kids gone,
House dilapidated,
Garden gone to seed,
She took-up Tai-chi.

Facing East,
A half veiled sun
Behind her,
She became a
Pictograph,
Crowned by
A golden rice bowl.

You mentioned you work with a therapist.  

Has she encouraged you to incorporate centering exercises
and holistic thinking and feeling experiences
healing interior and exterior nondualistic climate events
in your everyday thinking/feeling mutually non-violent practice?

Has she encouraged you to disclose what you...Read More

Mt Tai
How do I describe lofty Mt. Tai’s grandeurs?
Straddling Qi and Lu states, its green lingers.
The most gorgeous landscape the Nature has drawn,
The dark and light sides convert into dusk and dawn.
Floating clouds cleanse the mortal mind and soul;
Birds fly...Read More

there is a certain blindness...
that hides in plain sight...
between the things seen...

and behind the darkest night...
evolution means...not all seeing...
blindspots of an imperfect manifestation...

they are all around us...
people average thirty percent observation...
their brain supplies the rest...

seventy percent on subjective memory...
thirty percent...Read More

Hi tiddley hi ti I'm all right

Bruce

A lumbering man, 
audibly achily, stepped to the
floor’s center.
Had there been a spotlight, he’d’a shone.

His arms unfurled.
His hips spun.
His soles, silent
as he padded here,
then twisted to place a foot there.

A phoenix swooped, festooned in fire’s colors.
A monkey stole a man’s...Read More

Hello 
Shalom

Bonjour
to all of you out there
We are unstable compounds seeking peace
Urban life makes it  difficult to find it
But in the heart of Manhattan
There are ways to escape
There are some fine parks in the ciy...Read More

The beautiful conservation walk by the lake,
What a beautiful place, the ducks swimming on the pond.

The pathway is long and winding, there are bushes and wildflowers,
Water lilies unfold like stars on the lily pad.

The tall trees camouflage the lake,
There is...Read More

In Asia I met a cute gal named Mai Tai
She sure stole the heart of this old guy
On the soft sand we kissed and caressed
Mai’s absolutely stunning, I feel so blessed

I sense there’ll be fireworks under the moon
Our passion is...Read More

My dream girl's not a doll, no Kewpie cutie,
Or an heiress, or an actress on the screen.
She's neither nun nor acrobat,
Nor wears fine feathers in her hat,
No frump for Trump Republican,
No beauty queen.

She's not a princess trapped inside an ivory...Read More

Of Pain, Glucosamine And Chondroitin

Osteoarthritis and pain, a bane to sports and the elderly people...
All too often sufferers are spotted by the knee guards worn on their persons...
The doctors, they diagnose all possibilities for the pain and discomfort ....
And for...Read More

Two Aloha-shirted Hawaiians 
of generous girth were strumming 
their ukuleles 
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar
in the late afternoon, 
rehearsing for the night’s performance. 
It must have been the low season,
as both bar and pool...Read More

Light a candle.
Relax.
Carve out ME time.
Write poetry.
Find opportunities to meditate.
Treat my body like a temple.
Make myself prettier.
Play music.
Learn Tai Chi.
Seek out like-minded people.
Go on a selfie date.
Draw in my Inner Child book.
Play Play Play.
Soak in the sun.
Go out on a...Read More

Palm trees in the pineapple breeze,
c a l m  chameleon ocean up to my knees-
Beach sands with pebbles in my hands,
oh, to not return to the Michigan's freeze.

HAWAII ways as the mountain sprays,
wearing pink lays as the sun ...Read More
