Ramblings
Foothills
The physics
of metaphysics …
the part I like the best
Where symbols yearn
as planets turn
—new twigs to build the nest
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
A Picture
Imagery and symbols
are worth a thousand words
Why poetry is lauded
but prose routinely heard
To paint each word intrinsic
as dawn brush strokes the day
Each verse leaves time uncanvassed
—mortality at bay
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
To Heaven And Back
If birds couldn’t fly
they wouldn’t sing
The world would stop spinning
and bells wouldn’t ring
Wings are their freedom
the sky their excuse
To heaven and back
—all hearts are infused
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
The Road Less Traveled
Does the truth
of the world
lie in common
experience
Mathematics
and philosophy
forever
say no
Innovation
and discovery
fight shared
understanding
One should always
be wary
or forever
—forgo
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Bearing False Witness
Death by omission
death by nature
Where evil misleads
—deception grows
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Lock Step
Poets
miming
poets
The blind
leading
the blind
Mud
stirring up
from the bottom
Concealing
a likeness
—in kind
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
Virgin Dreams
Creating something
as yet undiscovered
Consciousness battles
—as memory attacks
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
