Remembering a small

Remembering a small

Moment that has grown large

An insignificant 

The dingy became barge

To others, no meaning

Even I near forgot

Like some old name or face

That echoed until not

Time is without rhythm

Time is without rhythm

Is does not tick or tock

It has no ocean tide

Or the hands of a clock

It has no thickness or

Color or any shape

Time moves without movement

And has no shadow scape

The consciousness rising

The consciousness rising

A warm front from the west

A revelation of 

The solar plexus chest

Playing hooky in Life

Is merely excursion

Plankton to prophecies

Overwhelm immersion

At the end of a dream

At the end of a dream

When hope becomes happen

At the roots of rainbows

The cocoon to satin

Experience exalt

The great climatic orge 

The rim of a hillside

On an echoing gorge

In a longing languish

In a longing languish

Remembrances ringing

Returning to center

Empty handed wringing

The wealth of wonder waits

Discovery imbues

The full weight of questions

Yet more answers to choose

Melancholy purple

Melancholy purple 

Triumphant surrender 

The white flag solution

The remedy render

The battle cry swan song

Neither stalemate or tie

Just sad happiness to

Wish well and say goodbye

At the start of absence

At the start of absence 

Without an orchestra

Free from the rapture of

Sensory plethora 

At the end of ripples

Beyond the rings of words

Left with staring upwards

Just blue skies and some birds

Beneath a single star

Beneath a single star

House lights lit like fireflies 

Hillside whales caught arcing

In the ocean of skies

With chords tuned to nature

Conversations begin

Starting where we trailed off

We chorused with the wind

Forty and fortified

Forty and fortified

Internal change has reigned

The goal of potential

The wisdom I have gained

Recognizing others

Their joys and woes I feel

The love for another

Community congeal

Justice is not blind but

Justice is not blind but 

There’s another lost sense

It can’t smell it’s own shit

Strong unyielding fragrance

Faith cannot become law

Religions full of hate

If God gifted free will 

Why do we legislate

Does time have gravity

Does time have gravity

Or some measure of force

A pull forward on a

Moment to moment course 

Is time a constant or

Like light it can be bent

Or is time a circle

Arriving where we went

Heartfelt ephemera

Heartfelt ephemera

A few words like whispers

Scripted on thin paper

Feelers like cat whiskers

Such a loveliness tied

To the likes of gift wrap

Discard of a party 

Home star on my soul map

Less than an asterisk

Less than an asterisk 

Not even a short pause

Or the glint of a glance

We are here just because 

Perhaps we are too close

To view spherical shapes

They could just be pixels

Of far greater landscapes

Spring is sipping summer

Spring is sipping summer

On this beautiful day

Loose shouldered bodies walk

Along the Franklin way

Graduate caps are thrown

A new generation

They themselves are sipping

World rejuvenation
