Hydrangeas
She was a good wife
Married for over 40 years
She was warm, considerate and always willing & able to help someone
Her talent was making beautiful, colorful gardens all around her property
She also donated her time to the arboretum
This year things have been different for her
She was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
Her ability to work on the yard and create beautiful, majestic gardens have been impossible
She's very ill
She can't maneuver like she use to
Her husband doesn't have a green thumb
For the 1st time in over 40 years,...

Ghost
I seek the solitary places in the darkness
where my soul becomes unhinged
and I rise into the abyss
touching other spirits evolve into mist
my memories touching the aether
blending time with breath
I ascend into the heavens
a life lived well
where my soul becomes unhinged
and I rise into the abyss
touching other spirits evolve into mist
my memories touching the aether
blending time with breath
I ascend into the heavens
a life lived well

Blueprint
I am the architect of my life
I build the foundation
and choose its contents
Etched into the blueprint
of our birth is knowhow;
routes to overcome experiences
we set forth to conquer
By our own design
our fate was fashioned—
by sheer determination
it will be mastered
if not during this life
then the next—
by our own choice
until we choose rest

Rebirth Possible on a Partly Cloudy Day
I want you vulnerable
I'm vulnerable too
Apart we're one thing
Together miraculous
Savagery and tenderness
That keeps me wanting
We're partly cloudy
Or mostly sunny
Possibilities
Rebirth
Too
I'm vulnerable too
Apart we're one thing
Together miraculous
Savagery and tenderness
That keeps me wanting
We're partly cloudy
Or mostly sunny
Possibilities
Rebirth
Too

Eos rising...
dawn brings shaded longing
when hope falls shattered around weakened ankles
binding feet in tortured place
defeated & depleted
unable to escape
when night once held such blinding promise
only to crumble ugly around the edges
fading slowly into jaded reality
and red-rimmed eyes scan hazy horizon
finding nothing in sight but echoing fog
empty skies & overcrowded tombs
amidst the decay of a hallowed place
where roses grew & love once bloomed
naked limbs shiver uncontrollably
rags of what was torn at the seams ...

IMPOTENCY OF LIES
TRUTH
I've never forgotten
the lessons I learned from
the Dharma taught by
Tibetan Buddist priests
in my quest for enlightenment
and reality.
I've recently been resurrecting
and meditating on a principle
related to Yin-Yang, the power
and role of opposites:
There is light and darkness,
Day and night,
Good and evil.
Truth and lies.
Etched in my cranium
are the words from a
teacher:
"A lie has never liberated
anyone, it may make it seem
to be so for a moment, but
in the end, will be...

Here we are in deep thoughts
How much does the deepness of the brain 🧠 that holds the mind, see within the very deepness of our lives, of the things. THAT we all have to learn to just to navigate, through the process of being able to just to survive, in this space and time of our lives. 🙏 FOR real that is the truth of the truth that has, been guiding you in ways that you can't even imagine. 😞 YET it is necessary to understand the whole situation, from start to finish for sure we are here. Facing one another as we exchange thoughts, from our own personal network, that has become the most powerful...

Black History Month
Awash in an ocean of cliché
I saw the sonnet in a brand new way
Where there was no where to go but above,
Strait up into altisonous love
Where lesser noise is left far below
In the surround sound of platitude's show;
Stuck in the cheap seats of discord and din
Grieving again at the wages of sin.
But sometimes, just sometimes...sounds are quite good,
Markedly, when they can be understood,
And in this way can be epiphanic
More so than lingo uttered in panic...
And that concludes my sententious sermon ...

Spring Mirth
Plush olive and maroon leaves
tempt my weariness with a reprieve.
Flaunting their secret scarlet beads.
Blossom with a lusting thirst for
spring rain's, gently weeping eyes.
From a milk white sky, one for which
the dogwoods vie.
Birds soar the mood less sky.
They fly right through the lingering goodbyes.
Echoes in the air that had no care to die.
The ones that had no why.
Like hungry winter parts with floral spring.
Barren bark and blossom had their fling.
The magnolia had no care with her lavish flowering. ...

Welcome Back Otter
If I were to return to earth in another lifeform
I would comeback as a Sea Otter
Be part of nature’s cycle and balance
I would be happy to live in the water
I’d be grooming and primping my thick coat of fur
Floating in the ocean under the California sun
Watching and waving at the whales going by
Diving for food and swimming all day would be fun
No matter what religious or philosophical views
Being a marine mammal would teach all a lesson
Perhaps bringing more awareness to humans
And the dangers to the ecosystems would lessen...

Long live the jellyfish
In the brine of forgotten ages,
Drift the jellyfish, translucent and eternal,
their bodies pulsing with borrowed light,
a dance of impermanence.
We mere mortals envy your secret pact,
to give up persecution for eternity,
and embrace the abyss of oblivion,
where memories dissolve like salt in water.
Let us grant them our coveted gift:
Immortality, wrapped in gelatinous grace,
while we, the fleeting sparks of existence,
dive headlong into the oblivious void.
For what is human life but a flash,
a phosphorescent...
