Longing for a Leader
A visionary must exist
Of some nationality
Genius enough to steer
Convincing a majority
Surely amongst the multitude
On this earthly sphere
Someone will look to the moon
Or another inspiration
And fix what's happening here
I don't care about gender, or age
A kid can be a wonder
Anyone can be a seer
We won't discriminate will we
Just as long as they have a solution
We'll gather apart, and cheer
So don't be shy, don't be modest
Avoid the crosshairs and....
This isn't plausible I fear ...

Niagara Falls
Victoria is bustling
cars, and tourists pass
Smoking outside the Inn
deja vu of the past
We ate across the street
mildly spicy Hakka cuisine
I sit, and people watch
people out of quarantine
The older casino strobes dance
eighty fell in a slot
Thought about going back
she definitely did not
I was treated here once
by a woman who said the word love
I didn't reciprocate
what we had was enough
My ex, the kids, and I came here
saw the birds, and butterflies

Alone Beside the Cabin Campfire
Nature repeats its call for hours
The frogs croak, and
something mysterious showers your ears
Wood crackles as sun-deep,
orange coals draw you in
Staring at them feels like years
Crickets orchestrate
as fireflies show off their souls
A lone plane breaks
the cloudy night sky
Lightning flashes in the distance
as a lone bird sings a lullaby
And you wait for life
to make sense
The frogs croak, and
something mysterious showers your ears
Wood crackles as sun-deep,
orange coals draw you in
Staring at them feels like years
Crickets orchestrate
as fireflies show off their souls
A lone plane breaks
the cloudy night sky
Lightning flashes in the distance
as a lone bird sings a lullaby
And you wait for life
to make sense

Be
Laboriously scratching at the surface of center
Mindfully hatching a preface worthy of render
Peeling each onionous layer as tender
Drifting to, away, incrementally enter
Possible possibilities scoffed, and scourned
Futuristic states of being forlorned
Habituated weights to progress adjourned
Insight to sightfullness microscopicly discerned
Bearing indignantness, mockery, and spite
Stubbornly exorcised self-inflicted strife
Risking nonconformity, societal knife
Navigation stoically aimed towards delight
Constantly ...

Sticky Solution
A blackout had shut down
air conditioners
entirely
So the city stifled under the wet blanket
of the
humidity
Though there was a measurable increase
in existing
nudily
Most remained miserable
in the clothes
of humanity

Heart-shaped Stones
She keeps an eye on the beach
scanning around near her feet
trying to find heart-shaped stones
She wants the ones with a hole
from years of erosion
like the heart that she owns
Her search will never end
having gave up on love
what's left will just be bones

She wants the ones with a hole

SPIRITUAL POEM

One choice in 10,000
Small children held hands with their parents.
Parents gazed up at the pulpit.
The preacher looked at the gathering,
raised his voice,
and gave them all one choice
The 9,999
other religions would disagree.
Espousing another variation,
of the truth,
to the ears of the old, and the youth
None of them are wrong
to hold generational conviction;
to believe they know the path.
All are within their right,
but clearly it's absurd to fight

Sculpture

+
Hammering chisels that shape the stone
Kept sharp by their work
Strength enduring wields of the weight
With repetitive precision
Tiny chips, slivers, and chunks
Of fallen debris dusting the state
×
Misshapen formations
By conflicting artists
Posing an indecipherable question
With justifiable answers
Leading astray the muse
With innocent suggestion

My Coffee
That alarming sound signals a new day.
I stumble through the darkness
to get the coffee maker on its way
She sets the coffee machine at night.
I set hers in the morning.
No wonder we never fight
Slip a coffee cup in the flow,
outside for a smoke,
and I'm patient to go
The time begins to bode,
fill my coffee thermos,
and a mug for the road
After a coffee leak I set out.
Traffic moves on most days.
I prefer a scenic route
Coffee break has an unusual time.

My Soul
Shut off my mind
and look around
Sense the sum of my parts
There's my soul

Sense the sum of my parts

Spring Arrived
When the world was grey
when it was always just another day
My soul was empty
a riverbed gone dry....
I hear the birds again
the whisper of trees in the wind
I hear the troubles
in the voice of a friend, again
I enjoy the sun's rise and set
Joy is the reason my eyes are wet
I see the uselessness, of living with regret
It took a long, long time....
Spring arrived
There's colors all around
and I'm grateful I survived
Hey world I'm alive!

Joy is the reason my eyes are wet
I see the uselessness, of living with regret
It took a long, long time....
