Art needs no witness but

Art needs no witness but
After the extinction
Staring at the monarch's
Singular distinction

Yet the pretty hillside
Welcomes the traveler
Come let's have a picnic 
And be the unraveler

In this mica moment

In this mica moment
Full sun, the twinkle star
Like sparks from a flint or
The scepter of a tsar

And then return to rock
Learn patience and sustain
Endure the cloudy days
And the snow, sleet and rain

Leave this mess all tidy

Leave this mess all tidy
Stack the impossible
And unsympathetic
Plan for the plausible

Enjoy not looking back
No sense of reflection
Wrap sensitivity
For selfish protection

The mystery is solved

The mystery is solved
All clear now as a bell
We travel to future
While flares rise up from hell

Afraid to be cruel
Fearful to be unjust
But we are neither and
Sought answers were a must

This is a beginning

This is a beginning
New carbon in our souls
Spit out into the vast
Universe from black holes

A constellation of
Two stars, a pair of eyes
That see reality
And quickly recognize

Weather reflecting moods

Weather reflecting moods
Or the antithesis
Plateau to plateau or
Mountains and precipice

Beneath these ancient skies
With clouds newly forming
As it always has been
Happy, sad or storming

Thinking without any

Thinking without any
Sort of punctuation
No commas, question marks
Colons, exclamations

Run on sentences with
Dangling participles
Poetic entendres
Doubles, even triples
