Driving On Sunshine

Surrounded by distant, grey clouds

with streams of white snow below,

away we go up and down

the newly paved highway,

driving on sunshine

with light all around us

and the bright blue sky above.

A country road beckons

and invites us to ride

past farms in the countryside,

so away we go by harvested fields,

driving on sunshine

with light all around us

and the bright blue sky above.

How Swiftly The Years

How Swiftly The Years

How swiftly the years fall into each other,

the past compressed underground

in layered deposits of Memories.

Some remain hidden, others found

of use, or not, as Life continues

circling ‘round Earth’s fleeting Ages,

years under water or under ground.

Lest We Forget Again

…our slow, uneven evolutions…
…the ideas, the beliefs, perceptions of ‘Need’…
…the ‘glory’ seen by some as being ‘great’ but Not…
Seen by the Light of Life’s Spirit…

Halloween Soon Here

Halloween Soon Here

It’s coming back this year-

a time of wild imaginings-

costumed fun of fantasy and fear-

corpses rising from their graves-

ghosts and witches suddenly appear-

a mardi gras of superstitions

from dark ages now made clear

with spooky scenes and theatrics-

acting out things strange and weird-

vandal tricks or salted, sugared, treats-

opening doors to fun and fear

of magic in mysteries imagined-

Halloween will soon be here.
