​Beautiful creature
captive
behind walls of stone and glass

Gazed upon by all
voyeurs
with no empathy to share

Cold space without touch
contact
warmth of another being

There for our pleasure
delight
as we state "oh, how pretty"

He is sending love
hoping
another soul will react

Is his spirit gone
floating
transported to safe fantasy

I cry for his heart
sobbing
wishing I could rescue him

He is my brother
hurting
giving love to so many

I understand him
futile
with no reciprocation

One day I'll climb in
hold him
proving one does truly care

On that special day
freedom
from those who failed to hear him

Beautiful creature
let go
of those who did not feel you

Beautiful creature
be proud
know one will reciprocate

And Love You

Out of the Ashes

What perfect pleasure
gazing at flower
no matter the place 
or who wields power

Oddly they blossom
completely for free
all 'round our planet
now how can that be

So few are happy
unless we are rich
money our self worth
now ain't that a bitch

Cash crushes pure joy
witness those sour
vile greed to gain more
each day every hour

Putrid the markings 
hard etched selfish face
from years of focus
on winning the race

Others sit for hours
feeling soft nature
learning a Wind Song
sweet nomenclature

Calm beauty of peace
displayed on their brow
absorbing passion
from past until now

Physical brute
that flower won't be
only a message 
for many to see

After destruction
by hate and deceit
scorched earth is laid bare
in seeming defeat

Seed of the flower
will rise once again
pure spirit of truth
lifts up for the win

New dreams of pleasure
gazing at flower
winning the race
hour by hour

Watching the Show

​Big cloud came driftin' in and bumped smack dab into that mountain ... 

​Bump!
     
Wasn't much anyone could do about the situation, so we all leaned back and watched.  We sat here for several hours witnessing nothing short of a world class impasse .. nah, "world class" doesn't come close to describing it .... this event was, without doubt, "Stratospherically Gargantuan". 

It tried, it grunted, it pushed, it strained, but Cloud could not budge Mountain and Mountain failed to repel the irritating entity which lay wrapped around its every nook and cranny.  Neither Cloud nor Mountain was injured, not that we could see from our vantage point, but we could all feel the tension and animosity as they vied for some sense of visual superiority over the other.  This was big stuff.

    
then Wind came ...
​
Mountain was thrilled as Wind dissipated that monumental pain in the ass which had shrouded it for so long .. we could almost hear a sigh of relief.  Mountain stood proudly in victory as Sun began sinking to the west .. Cloud was nowhere to be seen.  
​
next day ...

Big cloud came driftin' in and bumped smack dab into that mountain ... 

​Bump!

Parallel to our Human experience?

Until that day we accept one another ... loving one another without reservation ...
human negativity will repeat over and over like Mountain, Cloud, and Wind as avarice and  hunger for superiority overshadow the potential beauty of our species. 

these times are
​

"Stratospherically Gargantuan"

Flower calmly leans back and watches our show
