At Rest
Gas dock pumps, at rest for the night, are illuminated pink by afterglow delight
Read MoreWhat Is Now
Around the corner, around the bend
An unknown future winds and wends
Today, tomorrow, and next month too
It doesn't matter the point of view
The present appears one second at a time
Accept what is now, it can be sublime

Slender Steeple Stretching Steadfastly Skyward as a Summer Storm Slowly Spreads

To Tread Barefoot?
The lawn from afar looks perfectly pristine - carefully clipped in a pattern of green
As the blades of grass beckon naked toes, it's what lurks beneath that is hard to know
I crave a connection to Mother Earth for the grace that comes with innocence rebirthed
Oneness held hostage by laces pulled tight that constrain the joy of vulnerable delight
The answer is clear as to what to do - to tread barefoot, not armored with a shoe
Yang and Yin
A hair salon and the street "within" fit together in a reflective yang and yin
Catching The Flow
I'm grabbing some air - then letting it go; with a flex of my wrist I'm catching the flow
As the wind courses through the gaps in my hand, the air's varied texture I come to understand
I feel like a falcon soaring in gusts with glee, then a subtle shift I fly back to the lee
Read MoreShaped On The Shore
Grains of sand are shaped on the shore by Mother Nature for all to adore
Agony Of D'feet

Showdown
With a dynamic diesel under its hood this opponent in a showdown should be well understood
Truth
Ego and empathy are a dichotomy for me
One seems an entrapment; the other to be free
Unconditional love is the purest vibration
A centered perception, not judgemental exhortation
Truth comes from teachings, both East and West
Not from an Ego that ranks one as the best
Ahhh, This Moment
Our coffee machine goes drip drip
We're anxiously awaiting some sips
The aroma is so fine
The flavor will be divine
But for now we must purse our lips
The buzzer finally sings “Beep beep”
The hot water has finished its seep
Reaching up for a mug
Wanting a handle to tug
But the cabinet is bare ..."Oh bleep"
And the dishwasher we forgot to run
The mugs stashed inside are undone
Time to wet down a sponge
To cleanse the old grunge
Yes, this battle for java will be won
The carafe into mugs we now pour
Then some milk from the ice box door
The aroma is so fine
The taste - just divine
Ahhh, this moment we can now adore
Read MorePeaceful Prelude
Jackhammers lay dormant off to stage right in a peaceful prelude to a staccato under lights

Fabled Philosopher Fantasy
Some Western thinkers of philosophy gathered and dreamt of a party. This collaboration caused a few to rue - with the shopping becoming a divisive to-do:
- Diderot crisply criticized the show
- Copernicus spun about the fuss
- Einstein theorized relative wines
- Nietzsche transcended the pleas
- Cicero called for a vote to go
- Pythagoras rightly angled the bus
- Calvin reformed the flock's way in
- Newton would not stop his run
- Descartes triangulated the carts
- Aristotle perceived the bottles
- Marx uttered unfairness barks
- Augustine? It was a sinful scene
- Socrates showed his ethical IDs
- Plato reasoned out their dough
- Locke tried hard to liberalize
- Sartre still had no change of heart
In the end the libations did flow, the participants relaxed and their wisdom showed through. Thoughts were shared collectively in this fabled philosopher fantasy.
