Epigram Trio Plus One - with audio

audio link

The man undressed
Is distressed

Teachers seldom do
What they teach others to

(ON COMPUTERS)
The green grass won't grow
Where the green glass glows 

Life is a serial to be consumed
Once it is eaten the diet has bloomed. 

Desire Ask Ascend - with audio

DESIRE ASK ASCEND
Food loses its flavor
When there is no one
To share it with

As stones are for skipping
So words are for winning
The heart of a lovesick soul

The biggest mountains
Are climbed one step
At a time

Life and Love - with audio

audio link

Life and love are free
What we do with them
Will cost us our time
And many a person's help

Ripple - with audio

audio link

A planet cannot change orbit
Without affecting the solar system
Just as the expanding universe
Changes all matter, space and time
Even though the eye does not notice
Our thoughts and actions
Illusive in the flux of things
Create a ripple in the pool of reality
And thus change the world forever

A New Beginning - with audio

audio link

A new beginning,
When one is finished
Takes faith
Continuing on
Requires Hope
Allowing the flower
To stand again
After the storm
Producing lasting fruit
That falls from the tree
Of Love

What Whispers The Wind - with audio

audio link

What whispers the wind
To leaves that tremble
What says the rock
As waters fall

Beauty whispers the wind
Gushing, rushing, sparkling
Beauty, sounds the stone.

Passionate Intentions - with audio

audio link

A good thought is a fair and noble flight
But a good action is virtue
Emotions not expressed in day to day life
Are often expressed in dreams
Don't hold back your emotions and
You will sleep better at night

Passion is most well expressed
When love for another is given action
Self love, on the other hand
Is only a dim reflection of this
Like the Sun and the moon
Both are necessary

Tiny Credo - with audio

audio link

I am not smart
I am not fast
I am not best
At where I'm at

But I will trust
As well I must
In God Who watches
Over all of us.

To Love and Shine in The Eye of Life - with audio

audio link

That despair and fear across the land
Between me and thee I would certainly extinguish
But my roar is like a baby’s cry
And my power to save,
Like the lame man in front of the temple
That animation may God speak
Get up and walk my loved one,
Get up and walk
O carry the young and old in Thy bosom
Now and eternally
On the face of the earth
And in the eyes searching
There are tears stored up for a day
When many a heart shall say
Goodbye for now beloved of mine
While mouthing words both divine
And also guttural passions
Against and with the hand that fashions
The vineyard’s cluster of grapes
Under the embrace of the sun
As we drink the nectar of flowers
And sit tasting the honeycomb
Upon a blanket spread about with cornucopia
Even there one may stumble and not endure
A bridge that may not be passed over
The end of which finds the soul of man
That speck of sand
Upon the mighty torrent of something deep
In the silence and shades of specters
To rise again or not,
Once more to love and shine in the eye of life

The Poet's Voice Is Reborn - with audio

audio link

The verses do not speak
When the sun is dull and weak
Words have nothing to say
When the sky is cold and gray
The intellect flees again
Eyes overflow their dam
Swirling current in the belly
Heart pumping willi nilli
Calm rolls in after the storm
The poet's voice is reborn
