A Prodigal Poet’s Plea

O Muse, are you here?  I traveled
Many miles to you.  On bended
Knees I beg forgiveness.  No more
Phone calls or letters written.  No
Distance between us.  Together
We can quickly cross frozen ground
And safely return to our home 
Before darkness leads us astray.

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day V

                     V
Shattered and scattered:
Our Founding Fathers have suffered another death.
Their dusty bones can be heard rattling throughout
The late twentieth century democracy
That allows science and technology to run amok,
Finally destroying any recognition of their Dream.

The Stage of Life

THE STAGE OF LIFE

Emerging
Through a crack in the mask
Is Life’s full potential
Striving to break through
Beyond a persona
Wandering in shadows
To ultimately become
The One that I AM
When finally knowing
I AM One
With the ONE

“When the bright lights lost their luster
```
When the bright lights lost their luster,
The bittersweet carrot disappeared,
And I began the task of looking,
In hopes of one day Seeing.

Beyond
```
With strength of mind
And purpose,
One may 
Force the Seer
To close his eyes
In perplexing confusion,
Thusly freeing
The sixth sense
From becoming
Someone’s bondage,
God and guiding light.

“It is now winter”

It is now winter;
The end—
The beginning—
And an avalanche of thought
For everyone.

Through Pisces to Aquarius V

                V
Ones and zeros.  Zeros and ones.
In proper combinations,
Our loved ones become the graphics
On ever faster computer screens.
All problems can be solved with more
Available information;
Efficiency becomes the key 
To a positive bottom line.
Compute more data.  Garbage in,
More garbage out, up, down, around.

Rising Tide

Reaching further, cutting deeper,
The seventh wave violates
This once peaceful shore,
And as the chaotic tide rises
Our secure center trembles and quakes
In the cold grey dawn of decline.

Birthing III

We have returned to the crossroads
Only to find all signs point Home

Again the choice is ours to make
Of hoping the Child is stillborn
Further delaying our journey
As we spin faster and faster
On the merry-go-round of life
