You’ve said
that you’re against
all wars
but yet you allow
your mind
to remain in darkness
depressingly
fighting a war within
yourself
I must
remind you
A Rose is a Rose
Love is Love
Just like
War is War

WAR
IS
WAR
MY FRIEND

It’s time to decide
what you’re going to do
with what’s happened
to you
Happiness doesn’t
come to you
It comes from you
It’s time to create
an environment
conducive to joy

WAR
IS
WAR

PERIOD!

WAR IS WAR NO MATTER HOW SMALL..
Life is fragile and fleeting, Live Well , Love yourself!

That’s the message!

Perfect Love

One mission in life is to find somebody who will make you a better person,
not somebody who will deterioate your personality,
but somebody who will lead you to repentance with little or no effort at all.

Lily of the Valley

There's a flower
that grows
in the darkness.
It actually flourishes
in the shade.

It blooms in spite
of the darkness
when sunlight
begins to fade.

So many reasons
it shouldn't exist.
I wish it’s beauty
could be celebrated
with a smile.

As one of
those flowers
I may as well bloom,
because it’s gonna be
dark for a while.

There’s a flower
that grows in darkness.

Lily of the Valley is said to be biblical.
Legend has it that Lily of the valley
sprang from Eve's tears
when she was exiled
from the Garden of Eden.

Nature Study with Apple and Cherry and Oak

In the work cart I find a luna moth
And is it dead?  With gentle hands I lift…
And off it flies! into the sunlit leaves
Breeze-wavy in the pale September sun

          Among the apple and cherry and oak

I labor away at summer’s excess
And clear the paths and glades of weatherfall
Sorting out litter to a merry fire
And billets to store for the winter hearth

          Sweet gifts of apple and cherry and oak

The bees seem to wonder what I’m about
Sitting awhile, and thinking the summer out

          Beneath the apple and cherry and oak

It’s not at all reactionary, tho’ it might be drivel.

Lost Color

The moon shines in my tear lined eyes.
On the edges of my nails that have lost their color.
Tonight once again
light falls on only on those bits of me
that are in no need for the love of a neutral god.
