In the moment, royalty;
For the day, a queen —
All the lows gave way to highs,
Screw the in-between
Oh, you’d found a life to love,
Finally, some joy —
Ere the truth came crashing down:
That you were
A toy
We seek because we hope to find…
We seek, because we hope to find
A gallery among the blind;
A bit of hope, a bit of rouge,
A plot behind the subterfuge —
The soft or strong, the give or take,
The love we speak that then we make
In choruses of two, entwined —
We seek, because we hope
To find
To share is human:
all the scattered leaves
all the scattered leaves that fall tumble in the park; all of them, like you and me, barely leave a mark how the seasons tear us down, wind blows here, and yon -- all the scattered leaves we are: here today and gone
To share is human:
Of Human Blindness
Of human blindness, and its cost
We find a people strangely lost
In wishing ill on those they find
To whom the Fates have been more kind
It’s funny how we cannot see
The things we do reflexively
Like envy others what they have
And think that this our souls will salve
So we don’t strive for blessedness
But to prevent others’ success
And human blindness, hard and fast
Turns into madness at the last
To share is human:
dancing light
Painting Dots
The house we’re in now’s not the one
In which the kids got bigger;
The little mem’ries I have lost –
The count’s too great to figure
For life’s a craft of painting dots
These flecks of hopes and prayers
That only form a picture when
There’s no one left
Who cares
To share is human:
Behind A Hidden Door
Behind a hidden door
A valley green, a pathway, and a brook
And you, the brave explorer of this world
Like from a movie, or a favorite book
Why is it that you shrink within your room?
Is it enough? Do you not long for more?
There is a green, a fair world, calling you:
Just find, and open wide that
Hidden
Door
