Feathers blown ‘round by the wind,Like careless words of man,Feathers of deceit, indifference,Not caring on whom they land. Pray God collects your false feathers,Like they never left your tongue,For soon your feelings will find,How far they have been flung. Take measure the shape of your heart,Do you fling the feathers of love?Have you mercy withinContinue reading “Feathers”

A heavy snow is coming down,The wind is whisking flakes around,I sniff the air with nose to know,Which way my mother said to go. I think I saw her go that way,To catch our needed lunch of prey,Now I’m lost in blurry storm,I need to find a place to warm. Smoky smells spell my concern,ToContinue reading “Snow Rings”

On the far side of a tree,A flag waves unfurled,Flowing easily in the breeze,Stripes pop in rolling curl. A vision with an orientation,Of a country that feels of home,Ripe for evolving discovery,With the flag above the dome. The stars and stripes wave proudly,Surrounded by oaken leaves,With winged birds and butterflies,Salutes across the seas.

How still the sticks on drum kit lie,Like spoons in a frozen cup,Until the drum beat needs be played,Then a flash as drums erupt. Booms shoot out to the sky,As from a lightning flame,They scatter the stars asunder,Compendium of music proclaim.

The next tomorrow morning,I will start my life again,Leave behind the heathen templates,The fool’s excess I’ve lived in. But can you wait a little longer?I need time to pack some things,A small bag of appurtenances,All my dunnage bound with string. I should ask how I will know you,When we meet tomorrow morning,Wait, I will notContinue reading “Nobody”

I pray you have a good weekend,The kind full of peace and joy,Not the one’s so busy,Not found in your hobby decoy. Restaurants won’t make it happen,Nor hit movies played in the dark,Not money to buy your dreams,There is better to give it spark. The good weekend of which I speak,Is as simple as aContinue reading “Weekend Love”

Ever been to a land of mysteryWhere you feel the cold of snowy mountainsOr taste the grit of hot, blowing sandWith your arms taped to your chairAs you gaze at the sky with melancholy staresAt flying images of incongruity,And a matrix of curious things? Where rhymes are stored in drawersAnd cabinets are marked, one beat,TwoContinue reading “A Trip to Poetry”

I start out lucid, energized,In my shiny silver helmet,And flame-resistant leather suit,Bright eyes and a cocky smile Staring at the screen, fingers vibrating,Ready to roar like a racecar,Oh my God, oh my God, let loose!I’m burning rubber on these keys., This goes on, round and round and round,Writing, thinking, revising, writing more,Then, I begin toContinue reading “Brain Shot”

A whitespace hangs above me,Like a glistening sheet of snow,A masterpiece of creation,Meaning nothing and everything! The science of it is but distraction,A whimsy for my entertainment,Drawing snickers of self-aggrandizement,For I am only a piece in a game. On any day the whitespace can change,As a new player joins the game,A player of lies andContinue reading “A Careless Game”

The crashing pop of livestock whips,Start the journey home,Through winds that roar resistance,As the wheels of wagons moan. I awake in a noisy station,To shrill whistles of trains,And the clattering bustle of people,In bellows of white-hot steam. My dream turns to windows,Seeing views of clouds below,As the flight nears my journey’s end,In a somewhere I’veContinue reading “A Dream Journey”
