MLK Day Inauguration
Juxtapose two men, both leaders, seem so far apart, This day ordained such to remember and celebrate the work of one, Also a day this year to bestow massive powers on another, One day that happens every year, inspired, maybe even a little hallowed, The other day happens every four years, intentional, peaceful transfer of …
Bye Bye ? So Silly
All the hubbub, all the press. Pressing on all the way to a law passed and signed by one President, Now the new President might stay the action, Law stands, but not enforced, not enforced, Ah the power the Supreme Court, to make a deity of our President, silly, so silly, And TikTok, so silly …
Reset
Find the way to reset reset, Fresh start for your mind, body, soul, Sole reason you might think, sink, rest on bottom of the pond, lake, ocean, No notion there’s another way than to stop all the chatter, than insist on the quiet, Find your way to the moment of truth, true to form, when …
Dreams In Motion, Emotion
Last several weeks, (months, years?), vivid dreams crowd into my head, objects, people, rapid motion, I’ve no notion, from whence they come… Emotion pours in, all around, vivid, visceral, all I can feel, feel it all , every moment, decades seeped in, now drip out. Whatever the case, cause, let it be so, my so, …
Piecemeal Calm
This I seek, What say you? Just enough certainty and ease of mind and a day without angst; so hard to find, create, maintain. So how in the dark, a little warmth, just enough clarity that a little calm begins, the pour of warmth inside helps, And I realize again and accept again this notion …
Hard
Hard to be all that, all the time, Hard line, tow it, hope you have enough inside, Hard to know if you can, ‘til you try, hard work for sure, Every day without a break, hard to hold steady, but what other way when life is hard, One way, hard work, the only way.
Image Of Anxiety
My constant companion some 50 years on now, Cut-down, battled, then some armistice, After a time wrestled fiercely again, waylaid, then an uneasy détente, Overall an ebb, flow, and do it again, comes to truce, seeking solace, a bit of peace, please, a bit of peace. Changed it up the other early morning, in the …
Instant Devastation
One never knows, not the hour nor the day, when the life you know might be taken from you in an instant. We work hard to create and maintain a baseline of stability, predictability, and comfort. War on American soil, not likely; Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, millions suffering violence and bleak, hopeless living conditions, so difficult, …
Lost In A Moment
Lost in a moment, everything fine, then gone, Fire sweeps in, run for your life, consumed inferno, Voila, Then nothing but ash, nothing but ash. [Santa Ana Fires 2025]
