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

Day Mourns Not The Night (Tanka)

Day mourns not the night
Natural is its passing
Into mystery
As man returns to spirit
So too is his fate unknown

Do You Believe In Coincidence

Do you believe in coincidence,

Perhaps in luck

Or do you believe in something from above?

A guardian angel watching unseen,

Keeping an eye on where you go

Leading you on from where you’ve been.

Is this so impossible

In a “Wonderful Life” kind of way?

There are things we don’t know

Since the beginning of time until today.

As strange as it may seem I believe they are real,

This doesn’t need confirmed with the five senses

I can’t explain it, it’s something I feel.

Maybe this is what eternity has defined as trust,

I really don’t know, I can’t be sure.

All I know is that I have to, surely I must,

No other explanation could be the cure.

There are things not of this world that we sense every day,

Defying the best of logic and human science.

Nothing more needs said, nothing more I can say,

In the divine we must put our faith and reliance.

In Silence–Screaming (Tanka)

In silence–screaming

Something only I can hear

Urging me onward

Headlong into the unknown

A metaphysical quest

Magellan (Tanka)

Call me Magellan

My sextant guides my voyage

Into the unknown

Like so many before me

The thrill is in the journey
