A Black History Month Mediation Number 3: Martin Luther King

Love is creative 

Only seeking to build up 

Or its not from love 

A Remembrance: Mary Tyler Moore 

Awoke with a song,
Mary Tyler Moore’s theme.
Quirky, jaunty and cheerful,
With a tinge of sadness.
A bright point in my youth,
Faded into night.

Such is the way of things;
Joy blends with sorrow/
This complex dish,
Life.

Live for the light 

i live for the light
dancing within the grey clouds
here upon the shore

A meditation on loss

News received
Unpleasantly
Deeply tinged
With sadness

Into a mirror
Gazing, wondering,
Unshaven for this
Weekend
Grey dominates
My beard

Change comes,
Celebrated at times
Or with dread
But it comes
Inevitably

Flame flutters
Victim of the breeze
Candles flicker
Departing from
Pedestals
Into the
Stars

What is “The Light”?

Light in, darkness out 

What’s the light? Needs clarity 

Is my light brighter?

Hopes and Dreams, Collapsing

As relationships end
The most painful thing
Is the lingering dreams
Vacant hopes collapsing
Vanishing into mist
Echoing steps within
Thick fog.
Silence
