The Dark Trail of Meaning

The Dark Trail of Meaning Wandering around in my mind Dissociated in the darkness of thinking’s kind Questions arise. Why do we fill emptiness with belief? When it causes nothing but grief? To the soul’s searching in the mysteries of life? Instead of seeking knowledge and meaning In the search of becoming With new visions … Read more

The Doorway of Beginnings

Enter the doorway of beginnings. Expect to be offended, horrified, or appalled In the range of sensory extremes. Stand back. Don’t get confused in hopelessness, Or pain, disgust, judgment, and hate. Listen, Allow the senses to learn Get distance from yourself, See what it is, How it reacts, Bare the shock of reality’s vision. I … Read more

The Zealot’s Game

The Zealot’s game Puts reason to shame Bludgeons truth with conviction Amputates the heart from the brain Replaces reflection with certainty And blood is shed For evermore By those who would follow As death finds victory hollow     In reason’s empty score.

Echos of Yourself

You run the course of time Unable to escape your kind Carried into the present Like and old sea shell Remembering its shape Not knowing from where it came It’s past is now your present So, like the character of before It makes a new sound With an old voice.

Snowfall

Snowfall It’s almost irresistible to watch The fluffy white snow Floating into the trees Filling everything with the humility of white. Stop, watch, feel Feel the softness of its attitude, Of movement and doing. The calm blanketing of footprints Vanishing in its falling. Outside is looking for lost warmth Waiting in the silent cold. Breathe, … Read more

Eating Life in Death’s Feast

There is something about hard descriptions Of those chewing on raw meat As the lion’s meal knows In its last moments watching In the stare of death in its eyes The victim knowing it’s ending in time. Seems cruel But, life is only a visitation To be torn from us In it’s return to death … Read more

Tolstoy Love

Gratitude and idealism Conflated with realism Providing no clarity of reason In sentiment’s absurdity   Its absent anxiety In the isolated night of confusion Hunting for reality With belief and fantasy So how does the sincerity of meaning Find its way in the world of thinking While captured In expectation’s hold        In a universe … Read more
