Here I am.
Life’s struggle.
Leaving me silent.
Alone with my God.
Abandoned but in peace.
Another turn I have to take
not knowing what lies around the bend.
I realize that I have to change my ways.
To see another season of trees.
Being alone is good
as long as I know
that there are others around
I don’t have to see,
I don’t have to speak.
We all need some color in life
to brighten our thoughts.
A good joke to make us laugh.
When in need of rest
I just close my eyes
and pretend to be here.
In my colorless land
With my lonely trees.
Where I know I find my God
deep inside of me.
Just another moment in life,
another struggle,
but always around the bend
another season of life awaits.
You will be free.

Carry God within in life’s struggle
I can get irrationally angry at art, but not science.
Science is just a tool, art can betray you.
When the rising winter sun
Whispers a blush of peachy pink
On the evening’s steel blue clouds,
I know that I am home and safe,
In my small but ever busy world.

Another morning walk, awed by the Nevada sunrise.
Don't believe they've met
This family matinee
The kids come with guns
But it's the roll-on wife who's loaded
Beneath the rhythm and sound
There's a sign saying 'POLICE – INCIDENT'
Love may have the right to remain silent
Yet when it ends, it ends badly
Love motionless
At the bottom of
A backyard swimming pool
Now quietly referred to
As the crime scene
Sadly, this is becoming more and more common.
We are
two lonely stars
shrouded in the veil
of obstinate distance
glancing at each other
every so often

Together yet far apart

Sometimes I wonder
how long would it be
before we break and fall
into the abyss of oblivion
never to see each other
alight once again
I was the Goddess and you were a mortal
yet I was the one who followed you
like a supplicant

night after night
I left my bedchamber
& the demiGod in deep slumber on my bed

swathed in the shrouds of darkness
I kept coming to worship you
quotidianly

but it wasn't enough
for you were never satiated
even after reaping all that I possessed

and trying to make an immortal out of you
is now obliterating the light
within my heart's eyes

thence go back to your realm
you can't dwell in mine no longer
& my knees can't kiss the hassock anymore
A dusting of snow
Under a pink sky
A flash of gold
Where the narcissi
Bloom
Too early.
