Talking Head

The posh talking head, with the best makeup and hair, told me today, I should not try. That my way was dead. His way was superior and he had the "facts." My "kind" had lost. And, I wondered. Why did his channel tell me what I could do or not do? Why did his channel … Continue reading Talking Head →

Alone with the Dawn

God's fury has passed, as the last sudden light flashes, and the flooding rain begins to slow, while the forceful winds move away to the quiet of the dawn. One leaf flutters down, torn from its anchor, alone, resplendent in its moment, whilst I see, feel, as one with that leaf. The aftermath, what was … Continue reading Alone with the Dawn →

Soul Bound

All love is behind me; least of all yearning. My growing years yet a dull mirror, nothing more to learn. Tomorrow just a wisp of things I wanted, forever out of reach, with no more disappointments, no more time to preach. Leave me now, I pray thee, Let me move quietly from here, Let the … Continue reading Soul Bound →

DIRT DEVILS AND BASEBALL

The neighborhood gang stood around in the dirt, choosing sides while the summer sun eased our pores open and sweat rivered down our necks. Passing clouds were lazy as the wind was slow, and the insects were so present and loud. A few ball bats lay on the ground, while the one baseball was in … Continue reading DIRT DEVILS AND BASEBALL →

Passing Once

I wanted the best of life but dealt with the rest of living. And, to the small of heart and mind, forget them, let them drown in their tiny selves, heavy and close and worthless. Let it be written, I loved, sang, danced, hugged children and animals with all that came my way. Love and … Continue reading Passing Once →

THOSE VAMPIRES OF LIFE

Vast it is, in that dark corner of your mind, the one filled with stark loneliness? That one where you knew you failed again? That same corner you have earned over years of poor choices filled with selfish justifications. Know I await you there, for I am you. You, without your glimmer, without golden charms, without lovely … Continue reading THOSE VAMPIRES OF LIFE →

Moving Titles to Kobo Publishing

As there are eight million titles on Amazon, and books (and other products) lose visibility after ninety days, I will be moving my titles to other platforms. First up, Kobe Publishing.

Soul, in a mind so Heavy

The mind so heavy with thoughts one's eyes cannot look up, the heart so burdened with worries it sinks like stone. But the soul, ah that soul, will be freed from heart and mind and flesh, think all that is life, love all that is right, leaving the heart and mind under. See my sunrise … Continue reading Soul, in a mind so Heavy →

I Sit Alone, Listening

I sit alone after dawn and hear the bursting surrounding me. My eyes are closed, my soul has no barrier. There, a dove, cooing for her partnered one, Nearer, the wasp rasps and tests for the new home, Farther, ole sol, forcing renewed life on earth to grow, first green then in colors, Tulips, pears, … Continue reading I Sit Alone, Listening →
