How does one explain
to a Christian Congress what
“Love thy neighbor…” means?

No explanation
necessary. They know but
there’s no profit in caring.

How best to pass these
days? Let me count the ways … nap,
sleep, and maybe dream.

Hard Heartless Harbinger
Can you help me see
the possible benefit
of February?

Though it is briefest,
this bleakest of months serves to
provide counterpoint for spring.

Untempered
If fire tempers
the forge hardened sword blade,
what tempers an ice hard heart?

Ice can’t be tempered.
The only recourse is to
melt it with compassion’s warmth.

Metamorphasis
How do you clear a
slate when the words have been etched
so firm and so deep?

Some grooves never fill
but time and overburden
will turn them into fossils.

Defining Words
How many problems
could we overcome just by
asking different questions?

Where, when, what, why , how,
who – simple words that define
the problem and solutions.

Seeking Truth
Where should we look for
answers when we’re not even
sure of the question?

Look for the answers
in all the old internal
spaces. Questions be damned!

Something Other
When seeking greatness,
is plain old hard work the key,
or is there something other?
~
Greatness comes not from
seeking but from devotion
to something other.

Anticipation
How many snowflakes
does it take to warm a kid’s
heart and stop us cold?

Here in the Deep South,
bread disappears and hearts warm
days before the first flake flies!

Just Asking
I’m Dreaming, but is
Universal acceptance
Really too much to ask for?
~
Though the wise ones tell
us to be careful what we
ask for, we still need to ask.
