Funny humans,
The only part of this
Universe that flails
And rages, expecting
Full control of this
Immensity.

Haiku
Healing
Perhaps healing’s not
Returning to the old life
Rather, a new one
Haiku
Oh, smartassery,
Free of all cynicism.
A good goal, perhaps?
Meditation on Greatness
One cannot achieve greatness
Adhering to the status quo.
Mediocrity, numbing the
Quiet desperation, drifting
Through life barely creates
Fertilizer for poppies.
Night’s Comforts
In the night’s darkness
Sometimes I find strange comfort
Peace through self knowledge.
Who’s Deceived?
Within deception
Perhaps lies a deeper truth,
Hidden in plain site.
Deceiving
Within deception,
Lies, deeply, underlying truth,
Powerful learning.
Via Negativa
I try responding
To negativity
By facing this rage,
Sadness, misery, and
Acting against it with
Compassion and love.
For water is what cools
Fire.
Focus
To live in this moment,
Ephemeral, moving,
An aim easy to lose.
Focus, my friends,
Focus is key.
Ferguson
Violence doesn’t heal.
Tis a short term thing,
Self-inflicted grief
Building upon agony.
Simmering wreckage,
Quite close to home.
New destruction layered
Upon the old.
Gargantuan pachyderm
Calmly sits,
Ignored.
