Coast to Coast Storms

Featured

Storm brew

From sea to shining sea

A fallen snowflake

Soon will be

Joined with many others

Across the country

From Texas to North Dakota

New York to New Mexico

Here comes a late

Spring snow

Pull the Inspiration

Pull the inspiration

From those things that which

Need very little duration of attention

The cactus in the ground

In the Sonoran desert

From these limbs grows life

Tested and true

Under the desert skies so pale and blue

To take up the thought to become

Better is to see the life as good

Through the eyes of a cactus flower

In the spring

In Scottsdale

Upon the Shores

Upon the shores

A town of bustling sounds

Hard times

In the city of winds

Taken down with the

Desires of the few

To crush the many

But there is a beauty

In a national treasure

That makes the city of Chicago

Upon the shores of Lake Michigan

Lies a beauty

That needs repair

Down on Lakeshore

The winter extends a few more weeks

On account of the Northern front

Blowing down

Into the streets of Chicago

Lakeshore bustles with

Brimming cars

Cutting each other off and honking

In the absence of stars

To take the wind will be a

Story to tell of a winter

Extended beyond the spring

Bell

Forget the Fool

Blistering ignorance

On full display

In the corridors of lies

Lays

The filthiest of beings

Existing to extinguish others

Fleeing

From the truth

And the light

So take a moment today to reflect

What is good

What is decent

What is natural the way of life

And go that direction

The Winter Cabin

Upon the dunes of Lake Michigan

Sits a cabin

Undeterred by the spring snow

Bringing the season of winter

Out a little bit low

For the waves crash

Where the water meets land

Over the sand and grass

Is the house that saves

That holds us tight

When the world is light

And falling apart

So take heed in the cabin of light

On Lake Michigan

For What Comes

For what comes

We only know

In the moment

But we can expect

From the history of the past

To know what

May come our way

To the heights of the mountain

One day

The blindness of clouds

Scattered in our eyes

Makes seeing the truth

Timed

So prepare for today

What is today

And give back what is not

For the hope of the future

Hope: For What Can Only Divide

Division in grand

Is the plan

Never mind the stand

Of the politicians

There is no hope

In a place where no one goes

No light to be found

No light on the ground

So blindly we walk

Next to each other

Never to know each others

Presence

In past or future tense

Tense

The bread and circus is our reality

We will never be

Free

To Catch a Lie

The lie

Or the liar

Underneath the layers

Tells the futile truths

But what is truth without response

Without the dignity of light

And recognition

Have we fallen asleep wishing

We were a better humanity

On this earth

Rather the flower that falls over sick

Has ruined the lot

Taking back the earth

In a ink stained blot

To catch a lie

Or the liar

Just bring us the truth

Blindly Led into The Clouds Above

No ambition or anger

Just the stagger

Of life

As the effects of age

Ravage the body

So the world will only know

Soon

A memory

So to turn to the clouds

And prepare the heart for the

World without a loved on

In the future of life

Today the News

Today or tomorrow

The news

Will come

When the breathing is done

And life is completed

I prepare for such a call

In the darkest of hours

To know that a life well lived

From the poorest of starts

To the struggles within

I hold no anger in my heart

For when my father passes

I will love him into the beyond

And wait until we meet again
