Land Foils the Sea

To skate on air
one must believe
that going up
is just as
left or right.

The gravity of the belief
is just as
going up
just keeps us gliding
until we stop flapping.
Then it's up or
down.

Leaf With no Name

I am the leaf
that don't have no name
that you look on with distain
like a butcher or thief.

I dropped from my tree
without permission from the rest
to breathe my last breath
independent and free.

Portable People

Going everywhere
God sends People
To seek out new
Things. We've got
to go. Now Samuel
from The Bible
has come back
to tell us all
what we
are do-
ing
is
wrong.

Hurry Not to Panic!

Now is not over
Hurry not to panic
Before it's too late
You look through the rear window
As, driving away, becomes smaller
And that was today.
The past before you
had a chance
to even
smell
it.

Sixteen Years after the Fifteen Year Milestone

Around my neck
That golden millstone
handles my balance
as life's highway
extends to a distant
horizon
resembling a
tightrope.

I know the LIght

I know the light
THat isn't so bright
from sight.
If you go into the store
YOu will find what is in store
and save
and save
money on lightbulbs.

God's Whimsical Wanderings

Stuck in Heaven,
Musing trouble
and watching the steam vapor that
is us
fade away into a history
a history without time
to an anxious gut
which isn't there.
