It sounds like it could be
but you never know
I suppose
you have to dip your toe in
and test the water
so
the rule of thumb is to
use your toe?

wow
mind blown
I'm goin' fishin'

Talk about the future
and spoil the present
Fox in the henhouse
rats in the barn

Moment’s unspoiled
never in reference
Today, not tomorrow
prescience the charm

(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)

Singing a morning,
painting a song

Sculpting a memory,
writing a wrong

Blessing the moment,
kissing the sky

Laughing at sorrow
—living to die

(Dreamsleep: June, 2022)

Poetic depiction
prosaic description
Vowels come in colors
the rest black and white

They call to us orphaned
they call to us nameless
Our pens but a lifeline
that save with each write

To romance the serpent
to anger the saint
Each word symptomatic
our feelings acquaint

A bard or a preacher
their weapons the same
Whose caliber loaded
—to praise or defame

(Radnor Pennsylvania: June, 2022)

All things
are possible
and that's not me
being biblical
it's just me
being practical
because if you don't
believe you can
you never will.

I believe I'll get through this
and why shouldn't I?
but
if I thought
why would I?
then the outcome is
what you're destined to believe.

Mindsets
like Meccano sets
are made to be
changed into
whatever
we want them to be.
