Ramblings

Foothills

The physics

of metaphysics …

the part I like the best

Where symbols yearn

as planets turn

—new twigs to build the nest

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

A Picture

Imagery and symbols

are worth a thousand words

Why poetry is lauded

but prose routinely heard

To paint each word intrinsic

as dawn brush strokes the day

Each verse leaves time uncanvassed 

—mortality at bay

To Heaven And Back

If birds couldn’t fly

they wouldn’t sing

The world would stop spinning

and bells wouldn’t ring

Wings are their freedom

the sky their excuse

To heaven and back

—all hearts are infused

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

The Road Less Traveled

Does the truth

of the world

lie in common

experience

Mathematics

and philosophy

forever

say no

Innovation

and discovery

fight shared 

understanding

One should always

be wary

or forever

—forgo

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Bearing False Witness

Death by omission

death by nature

Where evil misleads

—deception grows

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Lock Step

Poets

miming 

poets

The blind

leading

the blind

Mud

stirring up 

from the bottom

Concealing

a likeness

—in kind

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Virgin Dreams

Creating something

as yet undiscovered

Consciousness battles

—as memory attacks

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
