Universal answer
to universal questions

to the wondering
the contemplation

a babe born in a stable
beneath a shining star

forever identifying
with the weak and the poor.

"And you,
my dear lady,
are the poem.
I just give it voice."

for

    once,

   i would

love

      to be

         the poem

and

     not

         the poet

Sweep of Galaxy
stars innumerable

watch over and weave
our dreaming.

Daystar our star
wakes her children

to daydream our dreams
until nightfall.

small is beautiful
less can be more
truth is a balm, sometimes

big is humbling
too little can be overwhelming
plain talk can get you ostracised

attention seeking
attention demanding
standing to attention
attention to place
attention at event
attention to anything
paying attention
lost attention
called to attention
full attention
attention deficit
attention denied
forfeited attention
losing attention
limited attention.
