The night is serene
Calm, clear,
Crystallized.
The world feels right.
And, smiling,
I remember
The darkness was here before light

Our Place
It’s funny to think How little we matter In the cosmos One planet at the edge of One galaxy So small, In the vast contingency of space and time That is our world. And yet, We do matter. We are here, Born of “coincidence” We are a fragile world Made precious by the fate befallen us. Our Situation
Have you ever stopped to think About the sheer enormity Of our world? (And what is happening to us?) So many people Each with their own story Ever unfinished -and unheard But no less real than yours Everyone tries To fulfill some goal Pursue destiny Find hope So many people Rushing around Overlooking the obvious In their quest To find happiness A multitude of beings Endlessly searching To live out some fantasy And so the world goes An endless cacophony of dreams Fly Free
Bird in clear sky How I envy you -you look so free Your wings, the wind The earth below Your life appears so simple Clean And though I know This vision Is simply another dream Still you fly on, The earth is gone Your world Just you and your wings -free Unseen
An eternity of truths The universe shows- One for every dream Potential is infinite, But choice impossible. What if I take the wrong step? A labyrinth of choices But I am not alone I will follow the footsteps Of destiny Life is a journey And not a goal The water’s not that cold If you jump So be free! Enjoy life Wherever you happen to be. Look around Smile, Breathe Let the future remain unseen African Queen
Note: This is about my cat, Cleo She lay there on the bed, Soft fur black and brown Stretch soft, half asleep All she needs is a crown Two half opened eyes Lazy and green Show me a vision Of an African queen Steady but strong; Unafraid of her world A battle cry sounds And the arrows are hurled Who are you, my princess? My African queen? Her eyes hint at smiles And more worlds yet unseen Connected
We are one Each heartbeat marks a piece of eternity Each story leads to the truth within. Among uncountable diversity There is unity A connection We know as life Together
Expand your mind Feel your consciousness breathing You are the world Eternal, miraculous And yet searching A fragmented world Must pull together To heal Balance
We are equal Unique, one of a kind, yes Some more different than others But it is this that gives us balance Tip the balance Ruin the world So, in balance We are whole Wake Up
It is morning Sun shimmers through an open window. The world is awake But barely Here, there is warmth Why move? The world can wait Until noon |
I have placed the poems I have written into a blog format, for lack of anything better. You can sort them by category, or by date (anything older than May 2011 is under May 2011 because that's when I did the transfer). If you want to view all the poems, I recommend downloading the word document below.
