Contemplating fear and being alive…
Never More Alive
Adrenalin’s breath
Never more alive than now
Nearly scared to death

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

We all feel the pain. Let me know if that strikes a chord…
Comforting
Contemplating affection…
Comforting
Still soft and downy
Her loyalty comforting
The pug snores softly

Our little friends and companions so precious. Tell us what yours mean to you…
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?

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

In the World
Contemplating enlightenment…
In the World
Wind blows in my face
And not a care in the world
Moments of true grace

One Of Them Should Be Dead
Contemplating fate and the wonder of being left alive…
Excerpted from – One Of Them Should Be Dead
… Drawn down. “Kill me,” she pled
Shotgun jerked. With fear eyes went wide
One of them surely should have died
Leaving the walk stained red
Just luck no round chambered
Held his fire, when he should have shot
Twelve gauge aimed at him and its trigger pulled …

Peaceful Protest
Contemplating truth and commitment…
Peaceful Protest
Savoring each breath
In a monk’s peaceful protest
Burned himself to death

One Hand Clapping
Contemplating wonder…
One Hand Clapping
When the truth you’ve found
The sound of one hand clapping
Is the most profound
