Now the oldest generation
I hear the umpire call
“Batter up”

Memories
Sifting through lost memories
An entire life
Packed in a box
Bucket List
I whisper goodbye
As your hands grow cold in mine
An unfinished list
Opening
Sea of change
Creates an opening
For a new beginning

The Mystery of Symme”tree”
The meandering pattern
of rivers and veins
branches and horizons repeating
the grace of symmetry
found in nature
where function
overrules perfection
Fractured fractals
in balanced harmony
sing the universal code of
mathematical probability
bringing imperfect beauty
to life

Loss
For certain memories
time stands still
and for a moment
the pain is searingly fresh
The loss makes you realize
what matters most
An aching reminder
of what it means
to truly love

Transitions
Life’s transitions
Freedom from this mortal world
Tears role down my face

Otherness
Out of the brine,
the earliest seems so other
Ordovician beauty lies
in the eyes of the beholder
Is it desire or rote primitive urges
that keep this living relic
part of our current web
To be reborn,
as the 450 million year old villain
of our motion picture nightmares
And what do they see of us
do we appear as angels or incubus?
After all,
We crawled out of the ocean too

Fifteen Days
Fifteen days
Of earthly quiet
Let healing begin
Tourist
Feeling like a tourist in my own country
Stoned by words of hostility and division
Having to check my patience while struggling
To keep my sense of retribution in check
Because if I allow the malignant cancer of hate
To take hold of my soul
Then I become the problem
And not the solution
