To feel young again
My aches and my pains vanquished
Tireless child
They say it’s a state of mind
My body says otherwise

We Live Life In Fear
We live life in fear
Afraid of the dark, of death
Of what comes after
Why, when we’ve done this before
Many, many times over
We’re born and reborn
Working on our mortal souls
Until we become as one
…With the Divine

Magic (Tanka)
Magic lives daily
In every breath that I take
It is quite the show
No wand, no cape, no top hat
Required for an applause

A Life Spent Looking (Tanka)
A life spent looking
How will we know when we’re there
I’m really not sure
We can’t see our destiny
I guess that’s part of the fun

Look All Around You (Tanka)
Look all around you
Tell me what is it you see
In strangers faces
Struggle, pain, suffering, love
Perhaps a mirror image

I Am Not A Wise Man

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.

Perfection in pain
Part of this life of learning
Unavoidable

I’ve Been Called Foolish (Tanka)
I’ve been called foolish
Unconventional, dreamer
Happiness abounds
Maybe that is my secret
To living a joy filled life

Close Your Tired Eyes
Close your tired eyes
Quiet your exhausted mind
A surprise awaits
He has been there all along
Since the very day of birth
Too busy to see
He sat back and simply watched
Waiting for the time
Now in your silence he speaks
Hello my child…I Am God

A Jigsaw Puzzle (Senryu)
A jigsaw puzzle
This is the life that I lead
Trying to fit in
