Life challenges us
When we rise up and fight back
That is when we grow

Burning Out
I’m often weary
Wondering how much to give
Will I have some left?
The cost of rage
Rage brings forth power
Everything comes with a cost
Not a path to peace
Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
And now it’s Thursday
This strange thing, Thursday
Near the end of the workweek
But without respite
Autumn’s Approaching
One more day of light
Soon, autumn’s fury descends
The callous winter
Me? A Poet?
Calling oneself a poet
So boldly hubristic
Arrogant and empty
Of dignified reserve
Freedom: Speech vs Lunch
Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way
I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas.
The Great Blue Heron
This gangly bird
Inelegant legs, bearing
Ghost upon the marsh
Yosemite
Majestic mountains
Magnificent light falling
Tranquility’s song
