The heart begins
To rot if it settles and
Loses its whimsy

I Have Exciting News to Tell You, Sir
Hello,
sir I have
The
most exciting news to share
So
important I must, sir
Displace
you from where you were!
Oh
I tell you now
There’s
something a-going on
Around
past the back porch
Bring
your fire stick and magic torch!
I
will lead you, sir
Out
through the door
Run
you towards the source
Bark
to subdue til I’m hoarse!

Americana
Lands and mortals are blown
high
At the mercy of powerful
weapons
Clashing armies and leaders
Bent on congressional power.
The standoff is fierce and
bitter
Sides and lines clearly drawn
Rules and ethics pushed aside
Awaiting a jury’s impression.
Civilians left without homes
The war changes everyday
Sacrificing all collateral
Toeing the Wall Street columns.

Hallelujah
I
sing to the birds,
Fly
with the deer,
Climb
to the skies,
Free
of all fear.
I
laugh at the bees,
Poke
fun at the bears,
Swim
to the falls,
Free
of all cares.
I
call to the owls,
Dance
with the mice,
Run
to the stars,
Free
of all vice.
I
speak to the wolves,
Rest
with fireflies,
Dream
of the moon,
Free
of all lies.

Falling
There’s
a certain
American
expectation
Kicking
in at birth
A
picture of total potential.
And
after that
We’re
all falling
In
fits and starts
Making
ourselves unequal.
So
we cry out
For
another way
To
define the body
That
we won’t ever escape.
Trying
to break
The
damning pattern
We
take risks
Flirting
with raw frontiers.
Catching
a whiff
Of
unburdened purpose
Our
souls fly up
Burning
through imposed atmosphere.
Beauty
Found in the authentic.
Discovered in the wilderness.
Seen in the quiet moments.
Majestically rewarding those
who take notice.
