Can A Single Spark Ignite the World?

Long ago I took to heart Socrates’ warning that the unexamined life is not worth living. Even now, in this age of superabundant information, critical self-analysis sorts gold from dross. Knowledge and power alone do not make one wise, but honest... See More »

Timeless Reading

"And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” (Revelation 5:2) While the Lamb examined the scroll, Carefully studying its seals, Men anticipated with baited breath For its contents... See More »

Said He, Said She

"’Tis sad, indeed," said he, with solemn grin, "to live solitarily, without a friend." "Oh, yes!" said she, in somber tone, "How sad to face one's day alone." "And furthermore," said he, in mock chagrin, “to eat alone must be a sin." "Oh, yes!"... See More »

Vote NO on Mosquitoes

Devilish, cunning, mosquito pests Empowered with three-fold sight, Feeding on us, unwitting, Can we escape your bite? Sucking, greedy, stealing Your share and so much more; Mosquito politics-- A poignant metaphor. Carrying deadly disease, Stinging,... See More »

Resilient Daffodils

A slow and sullen sadness Crawls in on palm and knee, A hollow hardened madness, Pursues me, steadily. Love lost from ages past-- Would that it would end; Haunts, and, will always last. Still, follows me, my friend. “Away!” I shout, with... See More »

The Milky Way

It took maybe 20 minutes, flowing from thought to thought to pen "the Milky Way," which is pretty quick, and it may show; but how I got to where I wanted, start to end, is more importantly what I want to share. Maybe not everything one sets out to... See More »

Eulogy for a Cookie

Bittersweet were you born, Early in the sunny morn, From an oven burning warm; Salty to the taste, yet sweet, Cookie! How good you are to eat! Why then tremble as my treat? Never didst thou have a friend As me thy passing cares to tend-- Until... See More »

The Merry Chiropractor

(I wrote this in honor of my chiropractor) Some artists like paper and pencil, Others prefer paint or clay, But give me a back that is out of whack And I tell you you’ve made my day. Many folk are naturally gifted At dancing as their feet go to... See More »

Some Friend!

Several years ago I lived in a small house by the sea. When I first moved there, I brought my burgeoning library with me, many hundreds of books. My bedroom and living room were the library: every wall was lined with bookcases. Some bookcases were... See More »

Friend of Shadows

Even as a child, I realized dreams are significant and can be helpful. I used to be plagued by nightmares with monsters, especially when suffering my fair number of childhood illnesses. One night I decided, perhaps when I was four or five and... See More »

A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the Market

I recently returned home from a holiday flight, and awoke the next day to a bare larder: no milk or cookies--you know...nothing to eat. So early in the morning, I cross the street and see these two guys sprawled out on the sidewalk in front of the... See More »

I have a Weird Sense of Humor

I love to laugh. Out loud. Even when I'm alone. And particularly at night, when I'm up late thinking humorous thoughts. Especially then, I start to laugh, out loud, at night, while alone, maniacally. And the neighborhood is trembling.... See More »

A Koan for Couples

When a man whose marriage was in trouble sought his advice, the Master said, "You must learn to listen to your wife." The man took this advice to heart and returned after a month to say that he had learned to listen to every word his wife was... See More »

Fighting for the Queen's Jewels

(I have a dream to share) A shout called me to the door. “Someone’s here to see you.” I felt lazy, but swung my feet off the bed I’d been resting on and stretched. Gee, it was warm today. I felt comfortable and didn’t want to move, but walked... See More »

Dreaming About My Supernova

In my mind's eye, I see a fleeting glimpse of all the many places she lives, like a sentinel in deep space, stationed to keep watch and protect a plethora of worlds she has been assigned. Chasing down enigmas with the speed of thought, coursing... See More »

Blue, Blue Moon

Dear Moon, so self-centered, holding your breath in space; turning blue, like a spoiled child-- you'd do well in the human race. But I'd bet, were you here proud, bratty and unkempt, you'd change your tune at tax-time-- ‘cause no one here’s... See More »

A Kite in the Wind

Full leisurely you glide above As darkness fills the skies, You clear with wisps of sun and love, Being contrariwise. And offer truth—yourself; then move, Lost to all peering eyes. Your gift is lost, none give it note, Missing their due respect,... See More »

In Need of a Mentor

I've been blessed throughout life with good teachers, mentors, directors and insightful friends who expected me of more than most, accepted what I could give at the time as sufficient, inspired me to excel if only to impress, counseled my impulsive... See More »

Kissing Angel

This has to be the strangest night I have ever experienced. Rather recently, I was sitting, comfortably reading, set the book down and felt myself sink into the chair. But it was something different than the kind of leaning back and resting on... See More »

Beneath the Oldest Tree

I know that I shall never be as old as the oldest tree, but that's really fine, you see-- 'cause trees don't have mobility. I have no leaves to shed, No branches in which to nest. But I hope a tree offers shade For my final place of rest.

I Will Wait

I await her return, The one who brings joy to my soul, With encouragement on her lips, Restoring reasons to live For what is true and good. How I look to her return! I have waited from before time, Before there was a before, And will look for her... See More »

How love feels

The waves come crashing in around me. I scramble to reach a surface to cling to, anywhere to regain my balance, but am unable to get to my feet so I can breathe. I’m smashed by another wave, submerged and tumbling, spinning, dizzy. I feel the... See More »

Draconic Demise

Fire and smoke and ash: the giant wyrm’s exhaust, Diatomaceous, last of dragons, now his life was lost. Not to some errant knight or kingly paladin he, No, the last of all the dragons died—a pitiful sight to see. It wasn’t from the burning... See More »

Why Did God Create?

(My thoughts in poetry) I had a pocket of marbles, And gave them to some boys, That they might laugh and play Enjoying these simple toys. Perhaps that’s why God made us, Soft we are as dust, His pockets bulging full of grace, In Him we might then t... See More »

Don't Forget Love

I was in a relationship once. With a lovely woman. Circumstances divided us before we could bring ourselves together. I don't want to forget those feelings of loving and being loved. I have a friend who says pain is good, more pain is better.... See More »
