The Source

The raw material of art

is pain

The grandest illusion of all

is time

Whether parchment, canvas,

melody or stone

Each breakthrough immortal

—creation sublime

Unbroken

Truth doesn’t have an owner

propriety be damned

 

The light from the source

directing us home

 

—unbroken by command

The Nest

The middle of the road

is where people live

 

The middle of the road

 is where our hearts sing

 

The middle of the road

it raptures and calls

 

The middle of the road

—a home for our wings

Unmarked Graves

Arresting the future

 as well as the past

Time the great jailor  

its prison precast  

 

A graveyard of victims

in temporal loss

Destiny preying

—perdition the cost

Difference In Similarity

Hearing the word

speaking the word

 

Often quite different

—often the same

The Third Wing

The truth in translation

knowledge distraught …

He swept through the cosmos

a truant uncaught

His wings never clipped

his sails never trimmed

He flew through tomorrow

a new Seraphim

Those who were watching

their eyes disbelieve

Unburdened by dogma

—transcendence achieved

Forever & Now

Tell me your secrets

I’ll tell you a lie

 

Bid me good tidings

I’ll bid you goodbye

 

Proffer me kindness

my heart a deaf ear

 

Timeless your offer

—whose moment I fear

Protostar

Will you live with me forever

will you scintillate my dreams

Holding title to my wishes

the island in my stream

 

Will you live with me forever

in a fantasy so wild

Making love to the hereafter

—our one and only child

Verse 20

Old enough to reason

young enough to care

My heart eloping with my mind

mustard seeds to share

 

Adding to the zeitgeist

new bricks within the wall

Laying rhythms one by one

—heeding fortunes call

Yesterday’s Song

Losing connections one by one …

my mind has drifted back 

This moment caught within a cloud  

the past sharp as a tack

 

I reminisce in present tense

new frames of reference gone

With that most recent going dim

but still—I hear that song   

 

(Bryn Mawr Hospital: March, 2023)
