'Blowing in the Wind' of Times
Inspired by Bob Dylan's Blowing in the Wind
Our journey takes on different roads
we make our choices and our beds
no rest for the weary till we're all dead
Time is not our faithful ally
its intentions waywardly dubious
yet fate lays here in our hands
Don't pretend you can't hear the many cries
they're right outside your door
blow the whisle sound...

What IfWhat if the moon played music composed of others' thoughts and wishes? Would you hum along and carry that tune all day after the moon fades and the sun rises?
What if you could see the wind and know that it carried the hopes and dreams of others? Would you allow it to flow through and...

First plane to fly 1903.
A flying machine.
Made from the Wright Brothers.
Take flight through the air.
Glide through the horizon.
What an amazing feeling.
Transport here and there.
The sky is transparent.
What an accomplishment.
Skim through the clouds, air lift.
Breathtaking views.
With sunset hues.
Embrace the ride.
There is nothing like it.
What a heavenly sight.
Fly high.
Fly away in disbelief.
Fast as a bird on...

inherit the wind
We are inheriting Art and Arc
Of trying to understand.
How once, we were fingers,
Born of the same common hand.
Miniatures born into this land
Of thought.
Tactile each, and that ought,
To have been enough.
But,
In the sound of each brushed whisper
Overheard in the billowing clouds,
We fought the thought
Of the popular injunction.
Loud as a newborn’s...

Songs of the Wind
The wind cometh
bellowing its unrivalled thoughts
while doing a gusty dance
The wind cometh
wearing a formidable aura
scattering its’ amorous beads
while rustling soothing secrets
The wind blowth
firing sizzling arrows
giving tempestuous orders
raising skirts and harrowing minds
The wind cometh
hailing with breezy whispers
sweeping domains
while emptying the man

Prevailing windsThere are days we live only for others
and happy to share in ours,
words of devotion
even scars.
Though I never presumed to know
or even understand..
only pretend.
But this time's not the same
this unshakable thing,
like a pain,
is not pretending.
A feeling that wakes you from a deep sleep
real, what ever that is
transcending all moments that came...

AS LONG AS THE WIND STILL BLOWSAs long as the wind still blows
His words will still reecho
In the dreams we forget when we wake
In the thoughts that dip and surface.
"Africa must unite
We have the resources
We have the manpower
Only unity remains"
These words will fly with the Monsoon
Across the plains of South Sudan, Cameroon
Climb the hills of DR Congo, walk the lonely deserts...

Tornado is an Enraged Volatile Angry WomanTornado is an enraged volatile angry woman
Joplin never saw her coming; until she was upon them
Her path was a mile wide and twenty miles long
Was she seeking revenge? Angry with all humans?
We will never know, but she did unbelievable damage.
Joplin, Missouri lost many lives that day.
Four thousand homes were destroyed.
I cannot fathom the horror of...

The tempest of our nightmares
tempers flare in high winds
the sea roars in anger
heavy rains pelt down
waves rise to the occasion
after much ado and
with visible reluctance
the sky begins to clear
stars bestow their calmness
while the weary moon looks on

A Wisper in the WindThe Whisper through the Wind
The whisper through the Wind
The wind whispers a cry, a howl of sadness
the wind whispers a song, a howl of gladness
the wind whispers a message for you and me
the wind whispers and we here but can not see
At night and in the light the wind whispers
Over the mountain and in the...

words on the windSunny days
With a slight breeze,
And the aura of summer
Coming our way.
I stood beside you,
And glanced at you—
At your chestnut eyes.
An ideal time to speak,
Those words that
Quieted before they took form.
I whispered them
As you turned and walked away,
And as my footsteps
Filled the silence,
The words were carried by the breeze.
I wonder who the wind will give them...

Words are incantations that dance on the cold night windWords are incantations that dance on the cold night wind,
Striking deep into the heart of my world, shattering the light beneath my eyelids,
They slither like venomous snakes in the garden of tranquility, poisoning the air,
Drowning in silence the hope that flickers like a candle in the storm.
My bones may heal slowly under the spell of...

Broccoli, Brussel And Cuke
If in all innocence
broccoli brings out flatulence
not to dwell but how many unfortunate smells
will it impart from a single floret
and in the end when it rends
does it sound like a bassoon or clarinet?
And what about the brussel sprout?
No doubt it will create heady fallout
and if on the quiet you ever diet or fast
as you are...
