Moments Taken

My precious child
How could you know
The way that life
Is wont to go?

These moments;
Taken, set apart,
You reading rapt,
Full mind and heart

To someplace else,
Somewhere: not-here —
In that world, joy:
In this world,
Fear

“useless”

hey, you relativists out there –

who say there’s no such thing as ‘evil’ –

i say this:

to tell a child

they are useless

absolutely

evil

So, tell me —

Would you steal a child’s sense of security
Because you say “Science” told you do it?

I believe, in that sentence,
The word spelled S-C-I-E-N-C-E
Is pronounced “Moloch”

There’s nothing can give your heart

Quite the bounce

As when children prove

“It’s the thought that counts”

Solstice Train

Her mind’s at home in a miniature world –
Child of seven in her warm p.j.’s –
Head to the floor with the lights down low
Solstice train with its lights ablaze

Party inside for the well-dressed folk
Dining and dancing and sharing a story;
Child transported by effortless joy
Through imagined
Glory

Daughters are better than sons

And vice-versa

It Was An Amazing Recital

With each new child,
The human race begins anew.

similarly…

With each new musician,
The glory of music is reborn

Another Part

We’re born
We live
We die
That is
The journey
We’re all on

But if
A child
Is born
To us
Our life is
Thereupon

Ensconced
In she
Or he
Who is
The offspring
Of our heart

And life
Begins
Each time
They split
Into
Another
Part

No Talent For Certainty
