Field Notes on Silence - The Door with No Knob
Writing, as with life, is more about listening than writing.
Indeed, “listen” and “silent” are spelled with the same letters
Early February 2024
I recently spent four days in a Thai hospital, receiving excellent care in a private room. I had total control so I closed the curtains, turned off the lights and left the damn TV off the whole time. I tell you, walking away from that little silent retreat felt like the last time I visited my sister in Montana. God, I can’t even remember when that was. People fear silence perhaps now more than since the dawn of...

Deep in Here (music n bball)
Deep in here(music +bball)
Watching great athletic events
Are something to applaud
But music is deep in here
Catching a pass or scoring down low
Just can’t compete
When you hit that chord
Or a great vocal line
Watch the crowd respond
But you didn’t catch anything
Cept something deep in our soul
Sport teaches life lessons
But Music is supreme
Sport is disciplined
Music is another level
Two things in life that I represent
Ball and some strings
When you ball and try to write...

Path less Traveled
The path less traveled
Has many veins
Go down in the Brush
Come up rose thorn stuck in my thumb
Dust settles my footprints
Path well worn before me
With tributaries going off
Put my foot down
Make my mark
Choose the path I deserve
Pulsing through the soil
Pop up vegetable
Step over my travails
And my true soul is revealed
Path of redemption
And musical notes
Typhoon of symphony
Some truth mixed in
With some blues

Breaking Lights
She's been through hell, and the hell chases her,
the way the light of the sun is chased from east to west.
No one sees a ray run or asks the first light of the break of day
if she needs to catch her breath.
She does it by herself.
At the height of the sun,
by the corners of her eyes, she stares at the edges of her orange-yellow-studded world.
There are no shadows.
She breathes a few minutes.
Another wave of shade creeps from under the horizon.
The light you protect, you won't let them cover it, huh?

Blue Grotto
Drifting in blue grotto
Soul bathes in cleansing rinsing
Bobbing on the blue water
In a 60 yard cave
Serenades my self
I come out cleansed and serene
As I drift in a blue grotto
Lost my soul
Try to find my center balance
Fold my legs up and
Say a prayer
Sitting on Buddha mat
Feeling alive again
Pieces of a lost and broken me
I sit down and put my puzzle in place
The place that sets me free
Free to discover my inner me
Pulling back pieces of a lost and...

October Poems 2024 >> october nights
A poem for each day of the month in which I was born
October 10
october nights
october nights are steamy rendezvous
wherein some men, impassioned by stiff booze,
forfeit their balance on the dancing floors
of candle-lighted dens and abattoirs.
october nights are oft a masquerade
for damsels dimpled by demure charade,
whose airs are lofty as the shingled roof
that, in the cutting wind, stands not foolproof.
october nights are pizza feasting days,
when crusts and fillings appetites amaze, ...

The Truth Hurts
The saying goes
The truth hurts
Sometimes too much for us to bear
So our minds play tricks
And our hormones switch
And sometimes we are left in the dark
How much truth do we twist and call it delusion
How many days forgotten to fear
I stare at the person in the mirror
Standing there twisting her hair
I fall asleep to frequencies I think will heal me
When I wake it’s like pulling teeth
Do we lose our minds or our bodies first?
Abadoning them feels debilitating
But getting them back is grueling
Living in the...

Children are our Hope
Children are the brightest light,
Their blueprint is divine and pure.
they have the gift of clear sight,
they are the future's cure.
Guardian angels, protecting the youth,
please pour your cozy affection;
through their crystal spine so smooth
you establish their I AM protection.
We love the innocent kids,
smiling with stars in their eyes,
let's nourish the spiritual needs
of their curious belief in the skies.
Let's introduce the Aum sound to them.
Let's teach them to trust God from the start.
Let's fuel...

Today
Today
I long for you to whisper your words of contentment
while I listen with a bloody ear.
In those brief moments when hearing your song
for a time existence feels right.
Time's come with your voice
when pain dissolves into absolution,
when I feel there is a place of mind.
Time's come through you where for a little while
I feel I am right and at home.
I have time to think for now
and I have purpose where before I felt there was none.
It is not time for embracing your welcoming arms however, ...

Life
Only here so long
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore

Being Human
Have good intentions
and be truthful to yourself
You are only answerable to
Yourself and the
Divine...
That's what matters
and not what others
judge about you
Rest of the world can go
and fuck themselves!
and be truthful to yourself
You are only answerable to
Yourself and the
Divine...
That's what matters
and not what others
judge about you
Rest of the world can go
and fuck themselves!

The Dancing Rest
Back into the dancing rest
The childish, churning swirl
The tiny-vast, ubiquitous constant.
When I stop to stand and stare,
I find you, quietly waiting
Tears signal my grief at having left you so long
I’m sorry.
The childish, churning swirl
The tiny-vast, ubiquitous constant.
When I stop to stand and stare,
I find you, quietly waiting
Tears signal my grief at having left you so long
I’m sorry.
