In Circles

Contemplating good heart and craziness…

   In Circles

He’s seeming possessed
Dingo dog spins in circles
Screams but tries his best

Digging Deep

Contemplating life and and reaching…

   Digging Deep

Youth will find its way
Lessons of life digging deep
Sometimes in one day

To Feel Relaxed

Contemplating fear and the realness of life loved…

   To Feel Relaxed

I have stood in fright
And appeared to feel relaxed
Watching my son fight

What else can I say…

Feel the Strength

Contemplating love and faith…

   Feel the Strength

When just a baby
I could feel the strength he had
Never been maybe

Some worries along the way, and some faltering steps, but always up and onward…

The Old Man

Contemplating the circle of life…

   The Old Man

He’s young strong and fit
Primed to surpass the old man
In just a wee bit

Life goes on…

Waking From

Contemplating foolishness and epiphany…

   Waking From

As if from a dream
Waking from ego’s folly
Once again redeemed

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

Our Shores

Contemplating freedom, and not…

   Our Shores

Freedom rings
And not just a phrase
While less than perfect these days
This country of ours is still the one that brings

To its shores
Those suffering oppression
For all around the world they still venture here

When it is for their lives and for their hopes that they fear
For refugees the premier destination
Is our shores

Despite whatever fears the media flings
About our liberties in decay
Those without come here to stay
Yes, freedom still rings
