Seafarer

Upon the sea

A life lived

Over the water

Of a world

Made up of the

Liquid of life

To be a soul at large

Is to be a large soul

On the oceans of life

To make a life

In a ship

Over the waters

September Sun

September sun

Brings out the heat

In the early parts

Of autumn

So thick

You can see the humid

Air

Linger over the fields

Ready for the change

Of season

The hope of summer

Fading quickly

As the fall is now

Upon us

Perpetual Plastics

What we use

And what we throw away

Piles up in the oceans

Out of sight

Of our hands and minds

But trash does not

Go away

Living well beyond the life

It had on the shelf

So be thoughtful of life

As we make our way

Through the web

Of air and water

Right here on earth

Flippant

I have adopted the flippant

Approach

To the news

Of what matters little

In my sphere of control

So I take a new light

Into the darkest night

When all is lost

I laugh

To just to be alive

Is my only thought

Highway to the Sky

The highway runs

Up into the sun

As it blurs out

You see what has been undone

As traffic jams

Await a new universe

Of holding hope

For the next green light

As we set our course

For the journey

To the

Highway in the sky

Unclear Eye

The floor that we walk on

Spaghetti lace dress

I move with slow intention

To see the best

Of a world encompassed in moss

Unclear to the eye

The thunder of hope

Beats out

To hear the notes

In the sky

Dysfunctional

What was the place

Where we began

To lose our minds

The dysfunction of time

Wasted

Is now set

Deep in my pen

As I write to you

A verse

Of confusion

In a life

That has become

Much less

Amusing

Uncovering Meek Virtue in Our Lives

Where is such a talent

A virtue buried

In the wide open

Spaces that make up

Life that we live

How can we be

Such complacent beings

With no sense of

Mortality

I ask this as a hopeful

Idea

In the back

Of your mind
