Intended Consequences
December 20, 2025
— 2 Comments
Without consideration of perspective
We will not be able to persuade anyone
To see the results from our point of view
We are blind to their vision, as they are to ours
Suspended
December 19, 2025
Time capsules hang in suspense, dangerous
The weight of the revelations slowly increased
Until the fruits of the karmic past dropped
Leaving remnants of shocking facts
Hanging in the dark air without explanations
Tales of Trails
December 12, 2025
Landscape stories contain more than geology
Surfaces worn out under many footprints
Colors change, faded from baking in the sun
Resilience shows up as rock formations
As you climb over the edge of the trail
Your meaning blends with the earth at sunset
Worn
December 10, 2025
— 2 Comments
The costume is donned to inspire a mystery
Image enhances as well as creates mythology
Where did you go when you heard the words
“High ho Silver!”’ ?
Kee-mo sah-bee, it’s time to return to the game
Gradual
December 5, 2025
Shifting into this darkest season of the year
Reminds us of all the darkness in our past
That slowly became shining enlightenment
Burying past betrayal and loss under water
Merchandise
December 3, 2025
What kind of items do you want to leave
As a reminder of your experience with life?
Are the symbols of power or trappings of wealth
Important in the long version of this story?
Which remaining objects hold meaning?
Outer Layer
December 2, 2025
Encased in disquieting layers of disguise
Covering the inner workings
Allowing no hint of the entire situation
Deeper inquires reveal empty excuses
Sheltered in a case of hardened ideas
Seasonal Tidings
November 25, 2025
The decorations hang from every window
Cue playlists of tunes the ancients composed
To prepare for some merry days
That mimic the imaginary bounty
That flows from the decorative frenzy
That brings us to the darkness
That holds us in frozen embrace
Until the calendar signals
That we must begin everything once more
Brisk Changes
November 21, 2025
Sweeping permanent transformation
Moves in reflected by colors, sounds, winds
Following the dreams of ancient mythology
Ready to go into action wiping out the past
Scarlet Tanninger
November 18, 2025
Flutters silently into view, catching the eye
Lands on the highest branch to survey
Accustomed to cornering bugs and worms
Imagine the Scarlet Tanninger’s surprise
To capture a full grown human
