Hunting for Answers to Autumnal Questions
```
Within your sights is Life,
Breathing.  
       Can it be seen?
Can this miracle be felt
In a heart beating fast,
Or a breath being held?

“Swallowing a nostalgic placebo
```
Swallowing a nostalgic placebo
Quickly relieves today’s pain,
Validating this illusion of life. . .
Unlived even in finality.

Dream Fragment 8
```
Nightly swaying darkly
Through catacombs of sleep
Subterranean lives
Repeat mumbled questions
To echoing mirrors
Answered by meteors
Showering broken glass
On the highway of hope

Continue to The Promise

“Is it valid to”

Is it valid to 
Orderly push
Ones mind—
Milking it
Expanding it
Thinking. . . .
Being?

Through Pisces to Aquarius I

                  I
We began by innocently
Throwing stones and brandishing clubs.
Arrows, spears and slings for the hunt
Soon become swords and catapults;
Armor, moats and castles surround
A fearfully huddled people
That quickly develop methods
To raise levels of violence.
Revenge.  Many lives for a life
Accelerates the race toward death.

Children of the Sun I

Currently residing
Between her two siblings
Venus and Mars
The blue jeweled planet
On whose surface we ride
Revolves around its parent
Through the galactic night

“Do we sink, swim”

Do we sink, swim
Or endlessly tread water?
This seesaw life of constant choice
Must yield to the Balance within
If Existence is to continue.

“Poetry is flowing today”
```
Poetry is flowing today;
Thoughts of John Keats
Not so far away—
Neither in his verse
Nor of his time,
But writing only to release
Others so they may find
A smile on their lips
And no fear in the mind.
