Drinking

Roy was a taste tester

a cocktail hound

trying to decide if blue was better than red

all just an excuse

to spend the day drinking

Eat Cake

You want gusto, well I'll give you gusto.

Let me start by telling you

about an experience I had with a tomato....
have your cake and eat it too

Celebrate

Understanding comes with just being

celebrating the moment

Construction

We can find our way back

if we let go of the world we've constructed

Dying Stars

Illusion filled the west

bright lights chased away

the ghosts of ourselves

dying stars in the sky

Useless Words

useless are the words of believers

stuck with the illusion of permanence

Time to Go

The temperature slow rose

water running down my face

drenched from head to toe

slowly, slowly

all began to melt

sliding down the drain

with the warm morning rain

until all could see

it was time to go

Off to War

On that final day

our pallor grew so gray

gasping for air that

yielded so reluctantly

to fill our lungs

a parody undid our minds

and we headed off to war

Clutter

Paul had a big table

made of oak

it easily seated six

the only problem was

every time Paul turned his back

the table would clutter itself up

Code Blue

I have an odd furnishing I picked up the other day. It's supposed to be a modern electric bathtub. It's made out of blue fur from some exotic animal. It's nice to look at but doesn't seem to work very well. Every time I plug it in it just hums at me and then sheds all over the carpet.

Nourishment

How we nourish our souls

determines who we are

Unavoidable

Some things in life are unavoidable

Balance

Balance comes to those who live it

The Climb

Our climb will take us 

back to the beginning

Beginning

The challenge of the journey

is beginning it

Rewards

There's more to life than rewards

All the time in the world

All the time in the world is now

nothing changes that

Embrace It

Embrace the rains

they bring life

No Substitute

There's no substitute for nature

No Value

What we treasure often has no value

Unfurl

Let what may be unfurl

Awaken

Our senses will awaken when we do

Luck and Fate

Luck and Fate

determine destiny

Not Looking

When you're not looking

you'll find it

stay content until then

Reflect

Reflect all that is good

It passes

Sooner or Later

all troubles pass

Wandering

Our wandering is just part of this dream of life

Building

How we build our world is our decision

Each Step

Each step a moment of eternity unbroken

The calm within

The calm we seek is within us

Stay Connected

If we disconnect from nature

we lose our purpose

the world rendered meaningless
