Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.
Acknowledge the good times,
Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods
Of Peace and Serenity.

Epiphany on the Palouse – E. Education

While doing research for my new book,
THE METEORIC RISE
OF THE THIRD RIGHT SANS GRAVITY,
Subtitled, “The Magma Farta
Of the Third Millennium,”
I had to acknowledge that Rush
Must be right:  Millions and millions
Of lemmings can’t all be wrong headed
Wrong headed.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day II

                  II
In agitated exhaustion, we come
Seeking Ocean’s restless rejuvenation.
During the wailing Pacific gales
Undertows and high, ripping tides
Reclaim real estate by the acre
In an attempt to provide safe haven
For some of this continent under siege.

“Fireflies at twilight”

Fireflies at twilight
Illumine the Blue Ridge Christ
As it catches leaves

Blown from the disrobing trees
On winds of changing season

Far Away
```
Far away the children play
In a world shrouded in innocence.
Let them play—
And learn to deal with life.

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.

From zero stillness
The arrow of your desire

“Once Again”
```
Once again;
        Back to the hub,
        Back to the center.

Drop all pretense,
Remove those masks.

Take a look in the mirror;
        Honestly,
        Nakedly.

“We become strangers to each other”
```
We become strangers to each other
And also to our selves.
Our paths have strayed
Although we are together.
Friendly bonds grow
To become what they will.
A painful re-acquaintance is undertaken,
For we stand at the crossroads—
Of love?
```
