FOX

The fox once caught

Will try to convince

His captor that he

Is the one ensnared

PIG FOR A STY

A pig for a sty

A ring for his nose

A laborer wallowing

In food, drink and mud

A slaughter

OLD BEAR

The old bear

Will not leave the trash

Unless shot

He dies a slow

Ugly death

Yet allow him to live

Again and Again

To the trash he goes

Close by the house

Until one day

A life is taken

THE COCK CROWS

The cock crows

Nudged by the unseen

So that the world

Might know

That all

Have been cared for

During the night

A LION'S LIFE

A lion's life

Full of pride

Is a lonely life

Swimming In The Tides - with audio

audio link

Death comes soon enough
No need to sit and wait
One block falls another is set in its place
A baby is born an old man dies

Swimming in the tides
Is not a task of leisure
It is however one way
of telling the live fish
from the dead

Reflect and Remember - with audio

audio link

The greatest plagues
Attack not the body
But the mind

Memory is a dancer
Just beyond my reach
So, I am learning to dance

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
