  • Deeply I Reach Into The Inner Well (Sonnet)

    October 10, 2014

    Deeply I reach into the inner well

    In search of peace and love.

    Picking it up from where it fell

    I push it back up with a shove.

     

    Caught up in emotion of circumstance,

    Surrounded by sadness and gloom.

    Needing to take a more positive stance

    Away from feelings of impending doom.

     

    Emotions running far too high,

    My health will be paying the price.

    If I don’t allow my anxiety to fly

    The outcome won’t be so nice.

     

    So time, it has come to put anger away and connect with the spiritual me,

    Hoping this time it will come home to stay and at last I’ll be finally free.

  • The Cool Morning Air (Tanka)

    October 10, 2014

    The cool morning air
    Dew clinging to window panes
    How quickly things changed
    Now that fall is upon us
    First snow can’t be far behind

  • Look At Our Future

    October 9, 2014

    Look at our future.

    Will it be one of terror

    Frightening our young

    Or will it be one of hope.

    Shouldn’t it be obvious?

    I question mankind,

    So very illogical

    In his foolish ways.

    Repeating failed history

    With the very same results.

    So lets march our way

    On this road to destruction

    Like the sheep we are;

    Believing all that we hear

    Into the fateful abyss.

  • Circle, Circle, Circle Down

    October 9, 2014

    Circle, circle, circle down

    Until he lands upon the ground

    Landing softly, though graceful not

    Tossing and turning in his resting spot

    Mesmerized am I at this sacred show

    By this tiny creature in final throes

    Years gone by I’d have taken its life

    Believing it kind to end his strife

    Was this really ever my place at all

    To live or die was never my call

    On the Divine life and death does rest

    Deferring to Him is surely best

    Now I just sit and watch amazed

    As his spirit enters its final phase

    Never interfering or imposing my will

    I watch as his little body grows quietly still

    This tiny bee is no less than man

    I’m certain it’s true in the Creator’s plan

    So I’ll bid farewell for now my friend

    Until someday we meet again

  • Sanctity of Life

    October 9, 2014

    Sanctity of life
    Deepest sadness for the loss
    Greatness never known

  • Another Day Ends (Tanka)

    October 8, 2014

    Another day ends

    Thankful for all that I have

    Yet unsatisfied

    While pain and suffering thrive

    I can’t be truly happy

  • Growing Frustration

    October 8, 2014

    Growing frustration!

    ISIL laughs in our faces

    …America bleeds.

    Again we are being used

    Because we’re slaves to their oil.

    The coalition–

    Where are they in this struggle?

    This fight should be theirs!

    Instead we do their bidding

    As hostages to these captors.

    We’re fooling ourselves.

    This isn’t just about safety,

    It’s economics.

  • Humanity (Acrostic)

    October 8, 2014

    How is it that we managed to survive this long

    Using violence against others indiscriminately

    Maiming, killing for the sake of oil and profit

    Are we really that cold and uncivilized

    No excuse can convince me otherwise

    I mourn the loss of all human life

    Their families given little time to grieve

    Yells for mercy are met with yet another bomb

  • Civil Rights Ignored (Tanka)

    October 8, 2014

    Civil rights ignored
    Skin color determines rules
    The sixties again
    We clearly haven’t progressed
    Far beyond our racist past

    Orange horizon

    Cacti framed against the sky

    Saguaro sunset
