    Mesmerized by fire

    Its dance illuminating

    Disembodied trance

  • Scavenge As You Must (Tanka)

    February 20, 2015

    Scavenge as you must

    Pick up the shattered pieces

    Your heart’s on the mend

    Yes, it will remain fragile

    But love’s glue will slowly heal

    .

  • Money is Power (Senryu)

    February 19, 2015

    Money is power

    Survival of the fittest

    And we aren’t worthy

  • Flowers Erupt

    February 19, 2015

    Flowers erupt from ancient granite

    Butterflies float effortlessly as if on a cloud

    Hummingbirds drink of sweet sweet nectar

    Caring not if of hand or nature’s bloom

    How odd in this hellish landscape

    The thriving and blossoming of such beauty

    Living harmonious amongst rattler and scorpion

    Such contradictions, these unlikely bedfellows

    Each with their own Divine purpose

    Who are we to question this perfection

    Perhaps this is the model for man to live by

    A lesson that has been before us for eternity

    But we were too blind or too arrogant to see

    .

  • I Am Not A Wise Man

    February 18, 2015

    I am not a wise man,

    Questions–I have so many,

    A seeker am I.

    No–this is not a complaint.

    My path is profoundly worn,

    Worn by ancestors

    All belonging to my tribe,

    My brother humans.

    Neither the first nor the last;

    Others will travel this road

    Leaving blood and sweat

    As markers of their journey…

    Of this I am sure.

    I take solace in this fact

    That I’ve not ventured alone.

  • Passionate Courtship (Haiku)

    February 17, 2015

    Passionate courtship

    Two songbirds blinded by love

    Windowsill tango

  • Uninspired (Acrostic)

    February 17, 2015

    Untold millions suffer

    Necrotizing their own souls

    Ideas dissolving in mediocrity

    Nothing but blood and tears to show

    Sometimes one needs to step back

    Permitting the mind to recline

    Igniting new found passion

    Regret not the blankness of pages

    Endure their profound emptiness

    Divine inspiration is on its way

  • The Greatest Wisdom (Tanka)

    February 16, 2015

    The greatest wisdom

    Is not found in our speaking

    But in our silence

    Listen to your inner voice

    And you may just learn the truth

  • Coptic Christians Killed (Tanka)

    February 16, 2015

    Coptic Christians killed

    No God would sanction murder

    In his Holy name

    Call them just what they are…thugs

    Taking Allah’s Name in vain

    Perfection in pain

    Part of this life of learning

    Unavoidable
