On Jaunts and Sojourns

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Let’s pause and shift gears

and maybe even park our

weary bones, enjoy the brake.

~

Frenetic motion

drives us all too fast to see,

much less smell, any flowers

Help

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Everybody needs

helping hands from time to time,

especially the helpers.

~

 Sometimes it’s hard for

helpers to allow themselves

to shift and become the helped.

Eschew Vainglory

Posted by agarrabrant

0

To know and be known

with acceptance and love – what

could improve on that?

~

Sometimes it’s better

to just do what needs doing

cloaked in anonymity.

Barr None ?

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Flashing open sign

in a locked and lightless store:

apparent allegory?

~

Sell the illusion

of openness. Maybe they

 won’t notice what’s closed to them.

Whole Lot Of Smoking Going On

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Smoke and counter-smoke

an eternal carnival

house of distortion mirrors.

~

If our leaders have

the integrity and will,

they’ll smoke out the truth.

Symphony Not Cacophony

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Is that the song of

Spring we hear or is Winter

singing an encore?

~

The twitter of birds

argues for the “song of spring”.

Winter’s encore sounds harsher.

Awaiting The Williwaw

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Spring is aptly named.

It springs back and forth between

winter and summer.

~

Focus on the sky.

Stormy clouds or sunny smirks

will presage coming weather.

Point Of No Return

Posted by agarrabrant

0

The hole gets deeper,

the more frantically they dig.

Soon they’ll need ladders, not walls.

~

And all those who have

done this unholy digging ?

Buried beneath their own dirt.

After Harsh Winter, A New Sprintime

Posted by agarrabrant

0

What colors does Spring

call forth in you as Winter

slowly says goodbye?

~

My heart’s buoyed by

new blue wellsprings bubbling

‘neath this, long, rusty winter.

Race To Nowhere

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Stress, tension, and tics;

side-effects of this rat race,

unless we pause to create.

~

 Relief comes when we

stop running races we can’t

win. Then the fun can begin.

Treading Water

Posted by agarrabrant

0

To keep from sinking

in a sea of despair, why

not put on love’s life jacket?

~

Love can drag down

if you surrender reason

in favor of attraction.

On Matters Great And Small

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Critique, when offered,

even gently, with kindness,

may feel like criticism.

~

Almost always we’re

velcro for the negative,

teflon for the positive.

Gauging Their Caliber

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Do big guns make small

men feel powerful and like

they finally matter?

~

 Impotent men with

their omnipotent egos,

oft cling to firepower.

On The Release Of Her Book

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Don’t expect her to

be all emotive and shit;

That ain’t her style!

~

Words a son who knows

his mom well would say – Thank you

for celebrating this day.

Frantic Hammering

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When reason knocks at

our door, will we have enough

love to open it?

~

 Reason’s gentle raps

are often overshadowed

by fury’s loveless drumming.

Roots Of Serenity

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Deep contentment comes

when belly, heart, and mind are

aligned and at peace.

~

Underestimate

sacral, throat, and the third eye

and content will elude you.

Fulfilled or Over-filled?

Posted by agarrabrant

0

There is a difference

between pride and hubris,

some just can’t tell which is which.

~

Puffed up, inflated

or just pleasantly fulfilled? 

There’s a world of difference.

“This Little Light Of Mine”

Posted by agarrabrant

0

The White House went dark.

How will we know what’s figure

and what’s ground? What will shed light?

~

We must look within,

when sudden darkness descends,

for beacons to light our way.

Ah Those Egos

Posted by agarrabrant

2

Hasty lines in sand

lead to unintended strife

when egos come in to play.

~

If egos learned to

play, perhaps then there would be

more enjoyment and less strife.

Daffodils and Daffy Poets

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Daffodils brighten

the landscape and remind us

Spring is on the way.

~

Spring IS on the way,

but my fellow poet has

surely fled the scene.

Who Be Lying?

Belying blue skies

and sunny, springlike, weather

comes grey news of grim futures.

If they would just stop

 denying reality,

we’d have a brighter future.

Bright Illuminations

Posted by agarrabrant

March morning – not much

warmth, but lots of light, like all

those hard truths we’ve come to know.

~

Harsh light can’t banish

lingering sinister chills

but can dispel illusions.

Kintsugi In Words

Posted by agarrabrant

Practice makes perfect

or so they say, but who are

they anyway?

Mostly amateurs,

too puffed up and self assured

to embrace imperfections.

Weighty Matters

Posted by agarrabrant

In the day’s hurry

may we pause and remember

what really matters.

~

Calm’s overrated…

or, at least, I think it is…

I really can’t remember.
