Just Be
when things
drop away
what’s left
in each life
there is a shedding
of sorts
whether it’s intentional
or unintentional
we shed
i truly believe
a 3-year-old child
already knows
the secret to life
and all we do
is try …
to get back
to that
that knowing
that unknowing
that place
that is truly free
and pure
and sacred
within thy self
to clear away
the unnecessary
things
that keep us stuck
is necessary
to see the reflection
clearly
the sea before the sun
is like that
there is a constant
way
in which it moves
that fills the eye
with the same scene
of centuries past
the water ripples
across
reaching forth
and retreating back
flowing continuously
like music
like wind
the sea is a symphony
a song within a song
and when you’re 3
you carry the sea
with you
at all times
no matter where
you go
or who
you’re with
everything flows
effortlessly

Written Words
“Injustice any
where
is a threat
to justice
every
where.
We are caught
in an
inescapable network
of mutuality,
tied in a single
garment of destiny.
What
ever affects 1
directly,
affects A11
indirectly.”

Confetti in the Rain
you bought
the works
but I missed
your show
stayed at home
kneading pizza dough
the ball dropped
where in New York City
wouldn’t know
missed the count
closed my eyes
and opened ‘em
on 22
blew out the candles
and said adieu
but Peter Pan says NO
don’t ever say goodbye
never say goodbye
‘cause goodbye
means going away
and going away means
forgetting
lest I forget
all of it
all the good
all the bad
all the happy
all the sad
it’s yours
and it’s mine
we in the world
know it
too well
can’t have the candle
without the cake
else we’d never know
the difference
between a summer’s day
and a winter’s night
ice cubes melting
in the mug
I wonder where
time goes
when it’s not with me
where does it go
when it quietly leaves
the room
and goes off
the clock
I’d like it back
you know
all the time
I wasted
on worry
what I would of done
had I known
you only get that one
summer in the sun
before it turns
January 1
