SnapshotSnapshot! - a shutter impales a
life to clicks, betwixt inhales and exhales.
Light into pixels, bloodshot in frames
kidnapped for a ransom of sometimes soon.
Snap! - a dry twig fractures under boot,
its echo resounding in forest shot.
Too brittle is the log of memories
we captured when we said we won't.
Shot! - the Sheriff, not the Deputy,
for he blinked...

Peace in simplicityThere's peace in simplicity. Embrace it.
Peace in simplicity
By Michelle Morris
18/05/2025
There's peace in simplicity
Look around; feel calm and whole
The less things you own
The less stress on your soul
People forget about this
When they chase material things
But once you leave this mortal coil
It's mostly stressful for the remaining beings
Those loved ones who...

The Scent of Musk(“The Mothership”, 2024, photo collage of original encaustics)
The Scent of Musk
What the world needs now
Is love sweet love,
No, not just for some….
And so it has always been.
This is our heart’s desire and birthright,
Yet the dream just slips away
Held for but an instant
Or reached for in vain.
Thus we learned to cooperate
Form bonds and institutions...

You are a Miracle in Action

In a world where everything is rushed
Slow down...
Don't get sucked into this Matrix
Don't be fooled by the daily grind
Too many of us were taught to work hard
To give up freedom and dreams
To give...

SOUL MEMORY SOUL MEMORY
Aligning core below to above
Sirius clapped in glee
urging group into Time out of Space
Pyramid, triangle of my refuge
and direction
Mercury watched soul circling Squinx
Dogons ancient guiding mission
bronze arms encircled axis
Africa cracked from Asia
Amma rejoicing
I knew not then
that in a Southern land I
were to disembark to
stand firm with fearlessness
time-split...

8 QuestionsOut of nowhere it seems, he appeared to me.
He had the eyes of an eagle; the heart of a lion.
He had the strength of a bear, but he was a man.
He posed questions to me in the tone of a teacher.
My curiosity ran high when in a gentle voice
He said to me, "The answers are...

Let it come crumbling down
This Life you thought you knew
It's not either the fear and heartache
The forgotten promises and dues
You deserve better, dear
You deserve it now
Don't wait until another year
Be brave, adjust your crown

A Quiet UnderstandingYes… even still, one’s philosophical reaching matters
Not because it conquers space...
But because it aligns with something deep
And ancient in the design… a personal calling.
As if the Cosmos longs to be understood
Even by a single, small being.
Why? Perhaps for nothing more than this…
That the dance becomes better.

HALF A HUNDRED PLUS 4 VIBRANT STARSThere’s a moon
Breaking through the dark
Half a hundred plus four stars beside it
Each one trying to equally share its spark.
Then, the sun rises
Gentle, not too hot, not too cold
But it melts the walls that have risen within
Changing hearts, making them more bold.
A road appears
Stretching across seas, sands, and trees
Leading us all to a place
Where...

A YEAR IN PASSINGJanuary wakes us weary,
New resolutions pressing heavy.
Then comes February’s charm—
A month of love, or wasted calm.
We march ahead into March,
Preparing for the chill to lurch.
April brings the planting days,
As a third of the year slips away.
Hope returns with open skies,
Maybe this month—maybe May.
June arrives with quiet tunes,
We wish the world would feel okay.
Halfway through, we...

Cinco De Mayo - Linking Pin Sonnet"Faith and Fireworks: Cinco’s Call to Remember"
(A Linking Pin Sonnet in Spence Format – Celebratory & Historical)
Remember the cry, the cause, the stand,
Stand for the faith that defended the land.
Land once trembling rose firm and proud,
Proud were the voices chanting aloud.
Aloud rang truth through valley and hill,
Hill of defiance, God’s sovereign will.
Will of the people,...

The Persistence of Memory Painting by Salvador Dali - Collaboration with Dilly DallyCaustic memories dissolve on my tongue
Lingering tastes of battery acid and nicotine
Cause me to choke on putrid saliva.
Staring at melting walls, clocks tick in unison.
Distorted birdsong hums outside of jagged windows
Under the warped sun, an unrepentant landscape blurs.
Freshly budding peonies liquefy;
Veils thin, evaporating the...

What is Too Beautiful?What could be too beautiful to describe?
A sunset golden in the western sky.
Poetic words of wonder locked inside.
Music so melodic, it makes one cry.
What is so lovely, it happens unseen?
Thankfulness growing in a grateful heart.
Division of two from an unborn gene.
The passing of passion within the dark.
What words bring peacefulness to solemn ears?
“From all candidates,...
