spirals

is it possible?

to turn spirals

into squares?

to straighten those lines

that curve

in on themselves

back to the straight and narrow?

what becomes of those lines

that are reshaped?

what becomes of those spaces

that are no longer there?

do the squares

long for their time as spirals?

do the spirals

long to be squares?

or

are they both

happy to be

who they are?

holding the shape

they were born to be?

detracting pathways

boggle the mind
makes you want to rewind
take a step behind
the ever present days
when you'd bask in the rays
of the sun and the moon
as they converge
to bring in a surge
of light, love, darkness, despair
wandering around
as the devil may care
bringing along
nothing so much as a song
of respite and reprise
flowing along on a breeze

hourglass

clearing the sands of time
wandering around blind
take the next step
with out regret
into the unknown
making your self seen
not a part of the herd
dancing along the paths
of white sands
in memory & dream

meaningful words

We are a collection of those who have come before and we are an amalgamation for those who come after. We cannot be summed up in words that are made up of only letters for we do not make sounds that are only heard, they are felt, they are remembered, they are pondered and explored after they have been uttered to be uttered once again by those around us, by those before us, by those after us.

We cannot begin to comprehend what we are, and yet, in some ways, we know exactly what we are and who we are for we know where we came from, we remember our past, we hold onto to it, whether it remains hidden in our subconscious or we actively explore it, it remains within us and that is what makes us whole.


(thought about chopping this up into a poem, but decided to leave it as it was written.)

purple dress

flowing brightly
looking spritely
in the early
morning light
all aglow
just letting it flow
with the wind and rain
until there is disdain
seeping through the vein
of one who should know
but they aren't willing to let go
of bygone eras
and so they steep
into a devil-may-care
restless sleep

the 50 cal life

sitting on top of
my new John Deere
sunlight glinting off the chrome
who would want to wander
who would want to roam
along the range
going against the grain
slinging my 50 cal
while sewing seeds
among the weeds
