Love Behold
There’s no clamouring in my head, I want to hike and tend the garden and exhausted, settling in my bed breathe a breath of peace and freedom. In a world where neighbours care enough not to interfere when your family is protected but not by those who’s tool is fear. In a child’s…

The pump is primed It’s been some time Fertile and frantic Earth Fertile to give and frantic to live Every breath betrays The stillness of mist on mountains Even the animals Especially the animals Fight to survive Must fight to survive. And yet such sublime light And smell of gentle forest and hillside And lilacs…

I know you
I know you. I’ve been in the deep, dark with you, I remember because you stayed at the entrance of the cave even though it was your idea to come explore in the first place. I know you. I’ve heard you brag. I’ve seen you get offended and be wrong and get offended again. I…

About Me
It’s funny. If it wasn’t, the terrible sadness would consume my heart. I suppose the fear will subside like the tide, like always and a new shore will take shape with solid and dry places to support weight. The real terror is in the vehemence, The wild, pinwheeling eyes rolling back, like a shark before…

Home
My heart is full of hope in the most tragic of times When all around is anger and violence. I know these old opponents, But I don’t honor them now. I see possibility, necessity and responsibility with an adult child’s fear that everyone will see me as I am. I am grateful for the child…

S.O.P.
Morals and missions and values and ethics all keep us from the terrible humanity. The truly terrible inside each of us. Without those things we are awash in the gravity of the void. And now that the structure is down all that remains is the unknown self against eternity. And the self is a very…

The Principle of Not Fear
People are tough and the capacity for wisdom comes from pain so if you do hurt people in your attempt to create a better world for yourself, own it, take it on the chin and move on with the wisdom you earn. That’s courage to me. Bravery. I can forgive just about anything if a…

Panic Attack-The Earthquake 1
I never saw it coming. I turned cold and sick. The avalanche, rumbling death, growing. The rumbling, growing death. When the earth shakes, there is nowhere to hide and nothing is safe. When your home shakes, you can find stronger land. When the land shakes, there is nothing to find. I didn’t know my beliefs…

Panic Attack-The Betrayer
When it first happened to me, I spent the night frozen, praying that I would wake up and all would be forgotten. That I would not kill. Killing had never been an option. Death had never been an option. The horrors in my mind had never been an option. I had never known the horrors…
