In our frantic rush
to achieve our lofty goals,
what is lost along the way?
~
A narrow focus
plus speed may hit the taget
yet still miss the mark.

Straight and Narrow Ways
On this twisting path
how will we ever get straight
and how will we know it’s true?
~
But is the straight way
the true path of truth or is
it just the highway to hell?

Certainties
When even the good
earth proves unreliable,
can stability exist?
~
Nothing stable stays,
except, perhaps, our wish for
such when times seem sweet.

Lazy Days of Rays
On these sunlit days
when even the grouchiest
smile, what is ours to do?
~
We could join them, like
Iguanas, and bask on some
sun warmed stones, leisurely.

Meaning and Method
Since burdens mask truth,
must we remove mountain tops
to reveal our true meaning?
~
Instead of masking
truth, burdens can force us to
climb mountains and find truth there.

Overburden
Would you say meaning
is something found, created,
or simply not there?
~
As artifacts lie
buried beneath ancient dross,
meanings are oft obscured.

Being Found
Is there limit to
what may be found when seeking
with an open heart?
~
When we’re present with
an open heart, there is no
limit to being found.

A Broader World
When surrounded by
darkness what will help us find
our way back to light?
~
Embrace the darkness!
Travel by feeling and smell
until the daylight returns

Realms of Being
Who said poetry
Requires great effort and
Some visionary forethought?
~
Sometimes we poets
enter a wordless realm where
effort and forethought don’t dwell.
