When filled with regret
how can we create some space
for love to enter?
~
When your heart’s hard drive
fills with regret and hate,
delete those useless programs.

Blurred Vision
Why must we wage wars,
attacking and defending
symbols we imbue with power?

Symbols are seen as

Why do we think we
can achieve long term goals
with short sighted plans?

Why must weekdays seem
to travel life by freight train
while weekends ride the TGV?

or days move slow depends on
the load they carry.

Since the road ahead
is shrouded in mystery,
Must we walk that road blindly?

Step by step we walk,

Why is it only

we trod grows more clear?

The pathway behind
wears the marks of our passage
while the road ahead is clear.

Schadenfreude or Schadenersatz
Is it so shallow
to wait in gleeful hope
for that house of cards to fall?

the depths to hope for a house
built on lies to fall.

This Little Light of Mine
How to shine a light
so bright that the willfully
blind at last can see?

bright, would do more harm than good.

Trumped?
What cosmic message
is conveyed by that turkey
strutting into the roadway?
~
Some think they hold cards
enough to trump those cosmic
messages and win the game.
