A lesson
Death teaches us meaning
of the word sudden —
one minute there, one minute
not —
the blackness, the blankness,
the emptiness, the silence, the void —
the most palpable, oppressing nothing
there ever was.
Mist
I’ve only yet to see the apparition of enlightenment, and it always slips past in my periphery.
Big city night
oh my gosh is that a star
in bright city sky?
nope! police helicopter
Seeing $tars
Star!
Nope, rocket.
Star?
Nope, police helicopter.
Star!
Nope, corporate satellite.
Star?
Nope, airplane.
Transform
Loss — the great redefiner of life.
Forty-two-tick-tock
the body is a clock —
bones tick and tock
years gather in flesh
an alarm set for death
Fertilize & philosophize
Weeds —
is there really evil in their hearts
or are they simply feisty seeds —
ambitious verdant darts,
proliferous garden art?
Excite
Lightning dances —
Thunder applauds her!

Inner self

i feel so tiny inside
Soul warmth
Hot coffee and cold winter mornings are two of the best soul mates who ever did find each other.
Pain is a story
Adversity enhances this tale we call life.
