Feb 2019
Proactive
Reactive
Choosing the path to follow
My eye’s on the rainbow
Holding on to dreams
Keeping pace with forever
This is my house
This is where I grew up
This is where I want to live and die
3/28/17
*
My time to shine
Simply Faded
Holding a near empty glass
Her life is about making money
My life is about making art
What is one without the other?
When unto touch
Impenetrable towers
Open your heart before your eyes
3/31/17
hidden dreams of glory
soaring over trees
flocks of birds on an august morn
sweet september
fly-fish casting
swallows nesting and honey bees
early evening sunsets
pink and orange clouds
holding hands with moonlight
8/2/17
enlightened enigma
pervades the temperance of time
holding moments against shadows
8/31/17
The tapestry of the mind
Filled with golden threads
Like the orbits in the universe
9/3/17
The happenstance of fate
Turns reality into daydreams
Or is it the other way around?
9/4/17
Florida
The land of mold, mildew
And bug bits
But memories aren’t enough
and the sadness of the times and places being gone
can never retrieve the times and places.
10/19/17
The pestilence of time
Transcends the boundaries of fate
And takes its own rewards
10/27/17
Plotting the day before me
I look at the empty page
And wonder at the metaphor
In the age of technology
We’ve reached a new low
The age of mediocrity
11/16/17
The Quest
There is no such thing as an impossible dream
Because the only thing impossible is that one can never reach the end
And, in one sense, maybe the quest is the end unto itself
11/21/17
It’s supposed to be fall
But the trees don’t seem to know it
New leaves struggle to fill up empty limbs
As the sun focuses on a single tree
Like a lighting “special” pinpoints an object on stage
Life projects its essence of humanity.
12/1/17
Tranquility Abandoned
The sudden, torrential, downpour sent him running for cover
He grabbed his computer, book and writing kit and ran inside
Tranquility abandoned.
12/9/17
Manhattan Tempo
I pace at a Manhattan tempo
Frantic reality, utter turmoil
Lost in the quicksand of fate
12/11/17
Another week of our lives
Torn away from us
And now another and another…
12/8 & 13/17
Death hangs over me
Like an anvil waiting for the blacksmith’s hammer
Where’s the Christmas miracle?
12/15/17
Hope draws me on
To a journey not yet taken
And a destiny unfulfilled
3/10/18
*
Reliving the days
Of your fading life
The last bowl of broth
4/5/18
Traversing the world alone
It’s the good mem’ries
That hurt the most
6/30/18
The yellow light of dawn
Burning through the trees
Awakening the day
7/26/18
A yellow crescent moon
That overlooks the landscape
And hyphenates the stars
8/15/18
Now that you are mine
Sent from Heaven to be with me
I am yours forever
8/29/18
The temperature dropped
But the warmth of the sun fills the room
Like love fills the heart
10/14/18
*
Meditation in motion
Slow locomotion
The torch of devotion
11/20/18
Re: Social Media
My hatred increases
In geometric progression
To my daily existence
11/29/18
*
The Road of Love
The road of love is long
Filled with potholes and bumps
Along the way
12/6/18
Reactive
Choosing the path to follow
My eye’s on the rainbow
Holding on to dreams
Keeping pace with forever
This is my house
This is where I grew up
This is where I want to live and die
