Sunrising
Unfolding before our very eyes
An Anachronism of future and past events

The Good Life
Early Morning
On the Sea of Cortez
A humble fisherman
Prepares his line
To lure a fish
Into the boat
To feed his family
He lives simply
So that others
May simply live
On the Sea of Cortez
A humble fisherman
Prepares his line

Awareness
Being present in the moment
There comes a time when you
Look all around and realize
That you have everything
You've ever wanted
So what is left to do?
You enjoy the scenery
You smell the flowers
The scent of fresh air
You hear the rhythm of free music
The laughter of free people
You expand your horizons
And savour the perfect moment
In time forever
There comes a time when you
Look all around and realize
That you have everything
You've ever wanted
So what is left to do?
You enjoy the scenery
You smell the flowers
The scent of fresh air
You hear the rhythm of free music
The laughter of free people
You expand your horizons
And savour the perfect moment
In time forever

DARK POEM

I Fear Not
A basket full of deplorables has
turned into a mindless mob
Fundamentalist religious zealots
and fear grip the White House
Why am I not surprised?
Ugly is as ugly says and does;
what goes around comes around
What is your worst fear?
Does it hang on the next tweet?
Is there an end to this madness; this horrid tyrant, this sorry excuse for a human with a shit hole for a mouth?
I fear not.

The Morning Cup
I love the smell of coffee
in the morning
The sound of the morning chorus
The first rays of sun
cutting through the darkness
of night
Coyotes sing
A new day is born
In the distance
a child cries for its mum
The village stirs
Lights flicker
The stars disappear
I savor my dreams
Taste the bitter sweet
warm brew like
words on the tip of my tongue
speaking to me of Mexico
and the flavor of Veracruz
in the morning
The sound of the morning chorus
The first rays of sun
cutting through the darkness
of night
Coyotes sing
A new day is born
In the distance
a child cries for its mum
The village stirs
Lights flicker
The stars disappear
I savor my dreams
Taste the bitter sweet
warm brew like
words on the tip of my tongue
speaking to me of Mexico
and the flavor of Veracruz

Ely
Threescore and fourteen
years ago this day a child born
Unto her Mum and Dad
A blessing for us all
An inquisitive and open mind
Thirst for knowledge and
Hunger for truth
Her steadfast ways and fearless
Self determination
Are a characterization
Of who She is
No better friend one could find
Loyal faithful and true blue
So it is that I and all
Who have known and loved her
Join in wishing her
The best of all birthdays
And many many more
years ago this day a child born
Unto her Mum and Dad
A blessing for us all
An inquisitive and open mind
Thirst for knowledge and
Hunger for truth
Her steadfast ways and fearless
Self determination
Are a characterization
Of who She is
No better friend one could find
Loyal faithful and true blue
So it is that I and all
Who have known and loved her
Join in wishing her
The best of all birthdays
And many many more

Sexual Freedom
When I look down on me
I think to myself
why that little prick
That other me
wasted insurmountable
time and talent.
Now that I am older
and in some ways more mature
I am finally at peace
coming to terms
with my libido
What a relief
Free at last!

The Shadow
Realization of the shadow archetype is the first step in the process of individuation.
I first met my shadow in a dream. I recognized him straight away and tried to beat the shit out of him.
He was intolerable. A smarmy little pimp with beady eyes and goatee. I grabbed him in a headlock and smashed him in the face until he fell to the ground unconscious over and over again until I realized I couldn't kill him. So I said, well if I can't kill you you’re just going to have to come with me. So I took off my jacket put it around his shoulders and off we went down the road together. ...
