Contemplating pain and wonder…
Crack Of A Bat
The crack of a bat
Or the sound of small arms fire
Putting my ribs back

The Way You Act
When panic is near
Courage is the way you act
NOT, feeling no fear

Honored
Fighting for the weak
Honored to protect and serve

The Brave Can
Contemplating the mob…
The Brave Can
In all the clamor
Only the brave can muster
The will for manners

Constant Now
Of sadness and sorrow…
Constant Now
Years later he grieves
Maybe not as constant now
Wind rustling the leaves

Volumes if given the chance

Waking From
Contemplating foolishness and epiphany…
Waking From
As if from a dream
Waking from ego’s folly
Once again redeemed

Ring any bells? Let us know what you think…
It Will Happen
Contemplating purpose…
It Will Happen
It’s happened before
And it will happen again
Need new worlds before
Moons and Dinosaurs
Or we roll the dice
Moons and dinosaurs attest
Do we go for thrice?

About Justice
Contemplating loss…
About Justice
A baby passes
I wonder about justice
And the randomness of how the fates will press
Themselves in upon the quiet lives of the masses
These are not questions
That will bear any good fruit
Only descending into dark depression
Or maybe worse spiraling off into delusion
Chosen for higher pursuit
Is a temptation
Dangerous clashes
Driven by those called to test
The limits of fate then forgetting about justice
No, it is just sad when a baby passes

Truths Streaming
Contemplating reality and our role in it…
Truths Streaming
Our realities ponder
The training
Is that backwards? Which way are the truths streaming?
These some of the strange paths upon which my thoughts wander
We create
Ourselves thru the drills
And we are what happens on the other side
Or is it the other way round that decides?
The training develops itself thru us when it fills
Us with trained reactions that do not abate
Over time and leagues yonder
Is that backwards? Which way are the truths streaming?
Or is it reality’s simply feigning?
I wonder
