Daylight Dreaming

Ask

better questions

Tell

better lies

Marry

the moment

Divorcing

the time

 

Search

for new meaning

That cross

on the hill

Dream

in the daylight

Forever

— until

Pawning Tomorrow

A human life

is given free

and taken

without payment

 

The times

 between

to lend and borrow

— till fate reclaims your soul

The Moment Proud

There’s poetry

in everything

the essence

and the form

As words set free

what time deceives

and hides within

the norm

 

A verse unsaid

awaits intent

to fill

the idle hours

Where hope endows

the moment proud

to dance

— among the flowers

Canyons Of Anger

You never were

that kind of father

So I could never be

that kind of son

 

You saw what you

wanted in others

But with us it was

all zero sum

 

I reacted to what

you were doing

And not to the bombast

you spread

 

As the rift ever widened

between us

Into canyons of anger

— and dread

Primae Voces

Those first words

spoken truly

— the most sacred in your heart

False Pander

Never conflate

money and love

The one hates the other

when push comes to shove

 

Never confuse

false pander for care

The almighty dollar

— unable to share

New Islands

You are only as much

as you settle for

And only as much

as you dream

 

When the fences come down

new horizons are found

And new islands appear

— in the stream

The Journey

Death

begets a birthing

The cycle

to repeat

Its journey

long and twisted

Meandering

like a creek

 

Death

starts out an infant

Learning first

to crawl

Arriving

at its end point

To answer

— natures call

The Magic

Stillness

is a bridge

Emptiness

a chasm

 

Stillness

is a blessing

Dharma

to impart

 

Stillness

overtakes you

When your world’s

in spasm

 

Stillness

is the magic

Deep within

— your heart

To Live Inside You

Oh,

to be

remembered

 

Oh,

to memories

serve

 

Oh,

to cheat

the reaper

 

Oh,

to strike

a nerve

 

Oh,

to light

the candle

 

Oh,

to be

a spark

 

Oh,

to live

inside you

 

Oh,

to smite

— the dark
