Thought, untamed
Shadows slide
up and down tree trunks
as wind nudges bare branches
Sunlight dripping
mottled
from clearest spring sky
The forest is never still.
A ringing hum in my ears
the only constant
persistent as coastal breeze
Patterns of twigs and clouds
punctuated
by bright red moments
of coherent thought
maple blossoms out of reach
Concepts un-graspable
as slippery shade
forever mutating
and formless
.

Want to return to HOME with answers

Want to return to HOME with answers
There’s nothing, absolutely nothing
to recreate, rewrite, re…animate!
The true reason, reasonable resonance
throughout our known
probably unknown ‘til we uncover,
discover
logical and not, Universe
ENERGY can neither be
destroyed nor created.
Yeah, but does this apply
In a 3 dimensional type of kindness
type of love?
What exactly is love and how
You tell me, how,
it transcends all dimensions
all answers
without satisfying
all the QUESTIONS!!...

Still Here
28/30
Still Here
Pretty certain
the intensive care
the chronic
too much to bear
not long gone
and still here, there
everywhere
despite feeling calm
no storm clouds
trying to guide
lightning lighting
my way
liken to the eye
of a hurricane
causing me to wander
wonder where my
tears have fled to.
I have crawled out
the same person
but exactly, NOT
the same.

55 seconds
27/30
55 seconds
Fell into sleeplessness
nearly too far
so deep where in a rush
memory pushed me back
now awake,
remembering no napping
forgot to submit
strangled letters
as my Twenty-seventh
of 30.
Well, here it is.
I am very sleepy
and hoping
amidst this menagerie
there is 50 unique
puzzle piece fittings
after I insert into the
counter………………………
………Woo Hoo!!
There’s 53 – 55 counting woo hoo!!

Terrenes
25/30
Terrenes
Rarely had real life stars
guiding me as I maturated
from a curious boy to
confusion then awake
1 or 2 along each decade
Or so pointing out
a lane, not necessarily
THE PATH
However, the beacon
lighthouse at a jetty’s
end always ever there
Mom
(and her Mom)
Both candles
wicks to short to keep lit
cremated
their wit & wisdom
cemented
I like to believe I can capture
a glimpse, a wisp of
a soft chuckle between
breezes – cool...

Sluicing
23/30
Sluicing
Jokingly amused walking
stumbling in a world of
bewilderment less love
driving no further
gas tank completely arid
parchment unable to
accept even the tiniest
scratch.
I know airport parking lots
sooooo many tanks
sooooo many to siphon
off, of
Them Flyers flying off to places I wish
ain’t gonna miss a tank or five
and if I do 5 then 25 it is!!!!
I should be able to write & so
only seven more days to go.

Learning to Slow Down
Some days I find it hard to slow down
I have a million and one things on my mind
I feel the need to be productive for every minute
And never want to take the time to breathe
I tend to think too much about the future
And plan for who I want to be
When what's best for me is to take life a little slower
To look at the world with a different eye
One that is a little more observant and kind to myself
One that is healthier and more calm
A way of life that listens to the birds on my way to work
Or takes the...

Back to Gemini
(Castor and Pollux 2)
Back to Gemini that space between him and I
When we see eye to eye in that dual personality
One’s a fly by and the other can be the fall guy
Like a balance act between absurdity and rationality
And perhaps this is why Gemini is my favorite constellation
As if the astrological sign is in line with that characterization
There are two temperaments but usually logic is at the helm
While the mad enthusiastic maniac wants to overwhelm
Castor and Pollux watch from their positions in the sky
It’s like their...

I'll take it like that
I was lying in bed
daydreaming of
parallel worlds
He turned to me
and said
no offence
but I think
you have a gypsy soul
I smiled and said
why would I be offended?
...
I woke up to
a crazy hair day
and I let my curls
do whatever wild thing they wanted
I feel as feral
as my hair today
and I like it
...
I was walking to the bus stop
when she stopped me
to say
she loves my sunglasses
I said they made me think ...

Inanity
20/30
Inanity
Ever striving to be
being, becoming
licentious at everything
incorporating as a
practice (within anything)
rendering
enabling
inner essence void
As an empty vessel
I am now
quite capable
panoptic able
infinite virtuosity
At last, I am inherently
of sense, senses, self
without attachments
while still, quietly
not apart of all around
nor independently
free, existing
with others
