Once We Lived On…

Long before Mars

became a cosmic relic

of terror and ancient wars

we lived and loved upon its

soil…

Too long ago to remember…

except our pale blue skin…

and we explored the heavens

then…

(April 1999- Shelley Wilson)

No One Owns The Rainbow

No one ‘owns’ the Rainbow.

No one ‘owns’ the Stars.

No one ‘owns’ Earth.

No one ‘owns’ Mars.

Some claim to ‘own’ Nature.

Some claim their Might is ‘Right’.

Some claim to ‘own’ God

and they ‘own’ Heaven’s ‘Light’.

Particles and People appear and disappear

as the Universe unfolds.

Everything is Transient that Life’s

Consciousness beholds.

Transition To Autumn

As the seasons change my daughter and I make simple ‘displays’ on our table to enjoy. We often photograph these ‘still life’ arrangements as well. It gives me a feeling of quiet joy whenever I look back at these seasonal ‘moments’.
