What steps can we take

to turn his military

march into a dance?

~

Already we dance

to his frenzied dervish tune;

Postmodern Danse Macabre.

When, from the shadows,

an unlikely hero comes,

will we recognize his face?

~

Turn on the light. Look

into the mirror. Do you

recognize your hero’s face?

Whenever will we

see that we are only small

specks in vast infinity?

~

When we realize

that size is unimportant

in this fractal universe.

If he abuses

late night cell phone privileges,

will daddy take it away?

~

With baited breath we

wait, wondering why he would

delay ’til another day.

If compassion filled

our hearts and reason

filled our minds, then what?

~

“It’s the dawning of

the Age of Aquarius”…

or , at least, satiation.

Whether the weather

displeases or appeases

will its change bring diseases?

~

On Capital Hill

they plan to cure disease by

repealing climate and weather.

If you have all the

answers, perhaps you didn’t

ask the right questions.

~

And, of course, we must

question your ready answers

trusting not in platitudes.

Creativity

is vital to survival;

otherwise you just exist.

~

Just existing can

sometimes take almost all the

creativity you’ve got. 

Why is it that what’s

  quite obvious is often

very hard to see?

~

Have we not become

all conditioned to distrust

obvious easy answers?

Lazy Saturdays

filled with glorious sunlight;

what better way to recharge?

~

Space, time, and sunlight – 

restorative indeed when

received with a grateful heart.
