Where Flora, Fauna And Beneficent Humans Gather - Part 1
Since childhood
one event has brightened
every New Years Day
a glorious morning parade
from traditionally sunny
Pasadena, California relayed
watched in robe, slippers, and p-jays
the Tournament of Roses
heralding a championship college Football game
rarely watched by my kin
unless dad’s school was playing therein
Unlike the more commercial NYC
cartoon ballooned cavalcade
marched on Thanksgiving day
that’s become one big advertisement
for the latest plays on Broadway
the variegated, festive floats
that...

Title: something about mystery?
Perhaps technology
Is the death of mystery.
We’re so convinced
we can find certainty.
Too much information
(usually questionable)
makes us impatient--
no tolerance for
the unknowable
no faith
in anything at all
except our favourite influencers…
Faith is
by definition
trusting in a mystery
but
“I don’t know”
is no longer a valid answer
when we can find out
in an instant
everything from
random facts
to preferred opinions
So pick a side
find “facts” to...

Ardency
28/30
Ardency
I believe that love,
divine love but without
deism, deities…..deis
one-sidedness sits
is
unselfish
motivated to be
proactive
reactive
active
and passive
However, inactive love
becomes stagnant
over time
creating consternation
and angst far deeper
within than one, anyone
might imagine possible
If caught in the mire
of unrequited quiet
how long can one remain
inert before aching hurt
consumes
every waking hour? ...

Essential Things
I do not think much about the future
Nor worry about what comes tomorrow
For I know there is someone
Who is in control of everything
He will provide for me
I live each day with gratitude
For everything I have in life
I have food to eat and water to drink
I have a home that shelters me
From the heat of the sun
And keeps me warm and dry
On rainy days
I have more than enough clothes to wear
More importantly, I have work
That provides me financially
I cannot ask for more nor complain
I have enough of...

Harmonious Family Dynamic - Sixth Movement
First and favorite cousin, French Horn
with cupped hand in bell inserted
creates beautiful, majestic tones
evoking lofty thoughts
Images of towering, alpine places
aerial views of nature’s magnificence,
expansive castled estates,
mother earth observed from space
Family counselor is the Conductor
sauntering on stage
to lead group therapy
assuring all members voices are heard
at the prescribed tempo, volume, and intensity
calming things when too rambunctious
Inciting frenzy when too restrained

Fake it 'til you make it
What if they all knew
that I don’t know what I’m doing
Or if you found out
that I haven’t got a clue
What would people do
when they realize I’m pretending
Will they disregard me
Will they look right through
This place feels familiar
the invisibility
I crave to be seen
but it’s a safer place to be
Life tried to make me unobtrusive
but a performer lives in me
Who cares if it’s to their liking
I can only be just me!

Her spirit
awakened me

maybe someone

anybody
I knew or She knows too
Her ink
Her think

I remember SOMETHING

She definitely evokes me

of someone who left

no longer commune

Harmonious Family Dynamic - Fifth Movement
Corpulent, bi polar uncle Tuba
at once jolly
playing oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah
then blows a tempestuous, thunderous blast
slightly less bombastic
and certainly more mobile
is smaller cousin Sousaphone
Fun loving brother Trombone
slip sliding through the measures
plays explosions of happy playful tones
but still can blow a gale
while brother trumpet
commands one’s full attention
whether demonstrating military might
or extemporaneous Jazz inventions

Call centre
I am on hold
with music that is
intended to calm me
I will stay bold
for I am not calmed
I remain (politely) enraged
I’ll not be subdued
though two chats aborted
I have been persistent
No need to be rude
this is a new person
so let us start fresh
I need not plead
for my case is strong
and you will not thwart me
I plan to succeed
not pay one more penny
for your fake “free trial”
with music that is
intended to calm me
I will stay bold
for I am not calmed
I remain (politely) enraged
I’ll not be subdued
though two chats aborted
I have been persistent
No need to be rude

Pernickety on a Sandbar
26/30
Pernickety on a Sandbar
My neighbor became
niggly aggressively argumentative
She knew next to nothing
about the couple
we spoke to that morning
yet she insisted
the man is rude
misogynistic
domineering
She said ALL men ARE the same
That got me going
I challenged her on how anyone
namely, her, can make snap
judgements on people they
just met
Perhaps she’s judging from
self life experiences
and upbringing
Maybe her deceased husband
treated her...

Harmonious Family Dynamic - Fourth Movement
Narcissistic, older brother Timpani
voted most likely to turn all heads
when they bursts into any room
harbinger of excitement or the end
whereas, unruly little brother Cymbals
races crashing through the house
quickly after entering
they’re shuffled off to bed
Great aunts and uncles Triangle, Bass Drum,
Gong, and Glockenspiel
less visible members of the family
whose voices are often used for punctuation
Spanish godmother Castanets
conveys an Iberian atmosphere

Quest
A quest to find the light for you
(because you said you’re in the dark) --
there’s little else that I can do,
so maybe I can share a spark.
Encouragement through silly stuff
(a quest to find the light for you) --
I know it isn’t quite enough;
perhaps it still might help you through.
I hate to see you feeling blue,
so every beam I will collect.
A quest to find the light for you,
and share it next time we connect.
To find the joy among life’s flaws—
it’s been a challenge for me too.
