I am the universe
I am the universe
aware of itself
and that’s meaning enough
I mean we look
we search we beg
for answers we can’t find
We want we wish
we demand that
this has to mean something
If we have a higher self
shouldn’t there also be
a grand and higher purpose?
Is the universe mean
to hide the meaning
from our understanding?
Or is it time to understand
that we shape the universe’s
experience of itself?
And as creators of the universe
can’t we do what we can do
to make it the best we can?
And then just let it go
and be the universe
experiencing itself
time ee’s honey
am i selfish
yes and you
and we too
many words
selfish saying
what wants to
forget time flies
love honey
catch them
in the act
yes it was
that not that
love can’t
help but draw
thin lines
Pill Bug’s Last Dance
Somewhere, a man jumps up
to dance for joy
inadvertently smashing
a pill bug beneath his feet
Everyday Rarities
On rare and everyday mornings
love comes tapping at the window.
Will you open the pane to experience
or embrace the inevitability of regret?
Big Bang
God sneezed
God’s Whisper
Do you hear God’s whisper?
Or is that your neighbor?
What’s the difference?
Who is your neighbor?
Mind Shine
Like a rum runner
I hit the gas
and race through hills
on dark dirt roads
then …
She stills my mind
like moonshine
better than booze
she stills me
Edgefest (April 30, 2016)
Gone to the anthill to join
the milling mass for minstrels.
Not yet May Day but like the first day
of spring off Lake Ontario when
everyone bolts to the porch.
Salt of earth
The Himalayan salt reveals
the most beautiful face
Worth a thousand ships
Worth a thousand miles
of hardship to see your face
by the light of Himalayan salt
Same Difference
This world has always
been filled with lies and truth
hate and love and indifference
ignorance and knowledge.
Wisdom and fools.
Today is no different
than it’s ever been.
But everything is different
because now it is up to you.
Sayings as old as mine
Cream and pond scum both rise to the top.
The wisest people are the most easily amused.
There’s an upside to everything.
Ignorance is bliss … and abundant.
Some folks are living proof that evolution works … in reverse.
It’s not mid-life crisis. It’s delayed gratification.
The only perfect human endeavor I’ve ever known is my grandmother’s chicken-fried steak.
