THE SNAP STRING

Almost October, rainy April. The rain is under the veil; he keeps kneading and washing his limbs. A procession of crouching, hunched people on the subway. A palpability of resigned indifference. Between gritted teeth, the supposed I-truth is heard...

Blessed

Thinking freely
It's part of me
Undoubtedly
Believing
That all things
Should be as they can be
But always keeping
Mindful thinking
That I am and will always be

Blessed
Guided, love
By the Almighty
From up above

Blessed

Tree of Life

I’ve heard it said that tree is life.
It breathes and expires as we do,
giving us our food and our homes.

From what I’ve tasted of this life,
I’ve not seen care enough for tree,
only wonting greedy desires.

I hold with those who treasure...

Can no man tame?

With rage I stand idle by,
I lose my tongue and give a try.
With emotion filled,
The crowd Is stilled.
I cannot reverse what was done,
And certain there, no battle won.
With the dust settled, and the crowd away,
I stand alone, nothing to...

Sky

I lie awake and wonder
How the universe was made,
And how the planets rotate
On axes well-behaved.
I float in eons of space
With their myriad of suns,
That fuel a million lifetimes
Through which the comet runs.
I sail the dark and silence,
...

I Died Today

I died today.
Quite suddenly,
Unexpectedly.

When dreams are shattered
And hope smatters all thoughts,
Then life matters little.

I cried today.
Unusual,
To see my tears falling.

When friends leave our lives,
And loneliness resides,
...

Es la noche ordinaria, hiriente

Es la noche ordinaria, hiriente,
repaso multitudes de recuerdos
y escucho de pájaros sonidos
semejantes a eterna, creciente

melodía, una fuerza viviente
desciende a suelos llenos de cardos.
Silenciosas ventanas, ateridos
críos en...

Could ya listen?

Could you give
Just a moment
Something here to
Share with you.

Been troubling me
This past week
And I scarce know
What to do.

Oh I know you
Are quite busy
Checking time
And Sighing.

But I thought friends
Had a moment
To relieve...

Beekeeper.

This a grand bright partnership
As the waving clover grows
And my little friends all busy
Gathering swiftly, Heaven knows.
And I slowly pace the hives
Measured help all dressed in mesh
Knowing Beulah Land's rich treasure
Gleams within those...

Smiling

We all do it
Each and every day
Maybe

Where does it
Coming from
Inside or outside

We reach
Deep within
To find whatever

To smile
Is to laugh
Outward and inward

So grasp the idea
Sunshine and all
And smile at the...

Bella regresión

Esa infancia linda tan cambiante, alucinante y feliz dónde todos te aman por siempre gracias a ese sueño divino, tan oscilante y profundamente inocente y feliz dónde estuviste y estarás protegida por tu Dios siempre...

Un Pato

Vi una vez un pato,
atracarse de un saco,
cada bola grande,
dentro de lo que blande,
y no se lo dejaron...
