The People

​Over 7 billion people walk planet earth today
billions have walked before us

Each person now existing and every person past 
has miraculously possessed the  capacity for original thought

 Ideas uniquely determined and directed by circumstances of one human life
one in many billions

Every person lives a reality no other has experienced
each mind processing  events differently than any other mind

Each soul with unique perception
speaking with unique voice

Magically we coexist 
harmoniously or not

Cacophony of billions 
reverberating throughout the cosmos

Collective voice succinctly expressed 
created by countless minds

Miracle of the universe
Humanity

For Me

Sitting in my favorite chair
blankly gazing to and through
the abysmal concrete wasteland below
chewing on something
anything

Knowing damn well it won't do itself
the page will still be blank
and the dish ..
the dish of that something I'm chewing on​
is gonna be dirty .. and empty

I'll be stuffed
and all that thinkin' blood will rush below
race to the scene of gluttony
to digest the frustration I fed
goodbye brain .. hello gut .. glut gut

Brain now dirty and empty like that dish 
cranial pot
attempts  to control my process
firing anemically uninspired synaptic bursts
effectively suppressing creative muse

Obviously all is lost
defeat by self annihilation
dirty pots .. empty dishes win the day
what am I gonna do
failure is imminent

Will nothing console this wretched beast
seeking inspiration here ..
it wasn't out the window
dirty dish .. empty pot failed me miserably
c'mon .. come to daddy

Sitting in my favorite chair
chair of angst .. of brutalization
Self flagellation looms on the horizon
as writers religion
demands the ultimate sacrifice

Damned chair feels lumpy 
dish is empty .. and dirty
I'm bored .. guess I'll write 
​this stark reminder of what it sometimes takes
you can read it .. but this one's for me

​There are no words 
only tears

I recall standing inside 
creative splendor

in wonder
in awe

feeling the masterpiece
Notre Dame

People of Paris
the world cries with you today

le monde entier pleure avec toi ...

Delicate

​To understand the intricacies of one we wish to know,  others must enter the private space of that which we want to comprehend without being invasive in any manner ... retrieving our energy in hope we will be allowed privileged access to the wonders before us.  True beauty is discovered only by those who patiently respect, honor, and appreciate what unfolds during the intimate process of unraveling hidden secrets as step by step we draw nearer to their source.  So much is lost when our perception of beauty is misconstrued, based on a brief glance from afar instead of exercising the giving process of withdrawing our judgement as we strive to immerse ourselves completely within that reality which awaits .. quietly allowing the beauty before us to emerge and provide stunningly complete recognition.  Deepest understanding is established in the quietude of this simplistic subservient action ... softly and respectfully entering another's space with the sole purpose of  feeling and absorbing their very essence ... their beauty.

Like flowers
we are beautiful
each of us

Soft petals
vibrant colors
awaiting

To know us
come closer
gifts await

Step lightly
approach slowly
gently

Your gift
our beauty
lovely aroma

Be patient 
 like beautiful flowers
souls are Delicate

​​Curiosity struck me
asked "How many are we?"
mere humans riding the blue green sphere

T'was February '19
last census popped right up
on my  electrified plastic gear

_______


Never has an answer roared
so clearly "Contemplate!"
commanding this man to awaken

7.71 Billion
existing just like me
living laughing crying  ..  then taken

_______


I did contemplate as told
voice heckling in my head
knowing I clearly lack the power

Reality came quickly
we cannot comprehend
but as one we can smell sweet flowers
