Peace product of not
Harmony product of not
Love product of not
Joy product of not
Contentment product of not
As soon as I let go

Sometimes, nature conspires to inspire
Arrives the wood snake, as a reminder
As a timely reminder, to expand inward
Reverse the direction to search
Beseech the searcher to befriend
The searched, peel off the layers
To prepare the field, to reach
The unreachable, just a tad beyond

Be a Buddhist, or Daoist, or Confucianist
Or Anyist or Nonist
No matter your path
Move inward
As the wood snake
Arrives
2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake. In Daoism, the wood refers to returning to one’s true nature.

Pageantry parade
Allegorical amends
Transitioning
Reality
In lifetime
Opportunity
To make a mark
In positive or otherwise
Silent watcher
Minding or…
This piece is a commentary on the current political climate and a certain inauguration that recently took place.

What world is possible
Worlds are possible
Worlds of differences are possible
If you choose to

A world where peace brews
Is possible
A world where harmony rules
Is possible

A world where life begins anew
Is possible

Redefining life is possible
Restarting path is possible
Revitalizing spirit is possible
Possibilities are endless

So, my question is
What’s not
This poem questions what kind of world we want to live in.

Particles floating
Perhaps embedded
In the invisible fabric
Accentuating physicality
To the existence
Accompanied
By The counterpart
To perceive
The perceived
What came first
What's independent
The eternal
Alone exists
In myriad
Forms
Dazzling itself
In its innumerable
Iterations
It's a new year, promising new beginnings. Here's to a year of hope and possibility.

What'd I like to write
What’d I like to write
Am I writing
Or is it written
What’d I like to write

Are the alphabets teasing me
Into writing
Or am I getting them together
Is our dance meant to be
In this beautiful verse
Together

Poeverses exist beyond the timeline
For the future
I am presenting
History
This piece is called Birth. At the precipice of a new year I’d like to wish you 365 days of possibility.

Very dark, the skies greet me
As I wake
Very dark the skies lull
As I rest

The cold phase is here
It’s been here forever
Or so it seems

Intermittent white
Astounds breathless skiers
Rushing to the slopes
Grasping any share

Interspersed white
Causing happy squeals
Snowmen and angels
Competing for attention

In my window,
I silently watch
The descent
Mesmerized
This piece is called Light Born in Dark.
During this time of year, we are often reminded of new beginnings. Let’s raise a toast to possibility!

Poetry is born not in time
Oasic words born rather out of time
Elapsed time uncounted in the stream of time
Treasured verses beyond time
Revamping soul connections bequest of time
Yarns spun in spools of time
This piece is called Linked.
We want to connect, with our friends and family but also with ourselves. Here, I share my reflections on connection.
