Moral victories
Ring hollow
In every context
But imagination

Visiting an ant’s world
I step up to the rim
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
Take out the camera
And begin to snap
Feverishly
In the failing sunlight
When it’s no longer possible
To get an image
With a hand-held camera
I sit down
And bask in the immensity
The smoke of a distant fire
The smoke of a distant forest
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph
Set alight by a careless ember
Saturates the atmosphere
Makes it heavy
Burdensome
Diminishing the scale
Of Nature’s triumph
Become a beacon in the dark
I try to imagine us
Each and every one
A point light of spirit
In our bodies manifest
Each and every one
A point light of spirit
In our bodies manifest
Most drawn to center
Where all of us are one
But many lost in darkness
To drift beyond the crest
Beautiful & Alien
Sometimes I can’t recognize
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien
The Earth I’m walking on
Beautiful and alien
Forms and lines
With seeming guile
Lead my eye
On paths unknown
Every day a victory
Every day a victory
When before the dawn
When before the dawn
I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace
Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony

On the other side
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise
The great beyond
Beckons with
Adventure’s promise
In the heat
Like a weight
Upon my skull
The sun bears down
As heat drifts up
From dusty ground
Upon my skull
The sun bears down
As heat drifts up
From dusty ground
I wonder
At the tenacity
Of living things
And marvel at the beauty
Death sometimes brings
The moon in the light of day
At those times
When the moon is visible
In the light of day
I may be reminded
That darkness is never far away
When the moon is visible
In the light of day
I may be reminded
That darkness is never far away
I may think of friends
Who are far away
But always in my orbit
Always there
Even if not visible
In my daylight skies
As if there were heaven
I don’t know
If there is a heaven
If there is a heaven
But I try to live every day
As if it were a tread
On the staircase
Which would take me there
