Life
Rise, welcome to Earth.
I am your guide son, Father.
Follow and grow up.
Your growth is stable.
Soon, puberty comes my son.
Walk, talk and explore.
Knowing defiance.
Almost to manhood my son.
Speaking of life lessons.
Learned experienced.
You are a good man my son.
Family wife kids.
They are blessings.
I'm no longer there my son.
An elder will pass.
A baby blanket
The first baby's breath.
The first warm sensation. Her.
Very much like her.
My mom. She bought it
for me when I learned to walk.
Memories were made
on my soft blanket.
Mixed with snot and my own tears.
Especially from
ages five to ten.
Fast forward to my twenties.
I can't remember
her scent anymore.
But nevertheless i still
cried for her, sometimes.
The Quest of I
Shocking entrance - life
Blurred images, startled breaths
A sweet face smiles
A consciousness blooms
Learning, growing, feeling now
Following, flying
I fight, I question
I wonder why it all is
I will conquer it
Far too much to do
All around me need a piece
I have lost "I" - rushed
Quiet confidence
Wisdom replaces hurry
I greet friend Death soon
I Have Words, and You
Wake to a wet smell,
Somebody is crying. Hush!
I'm trying to talk.
I find my two feet,
I stand up and choose to speak,
I've got a voice now.
A choice at my door,
Stay right here or go explore,
I feel you're waiting.
Enough about me,
I have words, now I have you,
I'll only talk about you.
So I've said my piece,
I hope you all had some fun,
But I've got to sleep.
The Hard Life of an Ant.
1. Earth turns slowly once
Speeds in space make seasons
change
Ant on big planet
2. Short days...less warm sun
Must prepare for snow to rain
Won't live to see it
3. We work for loved ones
Marching through danger and pain
Hard work for our kids
4. Work!!!! It's never done
For our fam. And queen to reign!
Losing will to live.
5. Made it to warm months!
Colony maintained domain
Even though I died.
Epilogue:
Ant life sometimes sucks
Live...work...die....but not in vain
In hearts....I survive
***Epilogue is like a p.s. note...a bonus....it is aNOT part of the 5 sections!***
Levelz
Weapons & fireworks
Lips meet with sweet, gentle love
Hearts beating as one
Tiniest human
Learning how to survive
In the starry land
Hands slowly learning
To create a masterpiece
One that beats Rembrandt
-Smiles, tears, joy, laughter—
My golden cup is filled up
With moments of bliss
Folks gather together
To bid adieu to
A beaming mage

Fatal Funnel
my mind
is a dense thicket
full of snares
and my thoughts…
hapless bunnies
unaware
Chronicle
Emergence of life,
Tiny spark in vast cosmos,
New story unfolds.
Uncharted pathways,
Footprints on untamed landscapes,
Courage in each step.
Beneath time's caress,
Youth matures like finest wine,
Strength and grace unite.
Sunset hues descend,
Whispers of a life well-lived,
Legacy takes flight.
Eternal night's cloak,
Soul finds its cosmic embrace,
Begins life anew.
Evergreen
“Wait! Stand right there.”
She looks up
Rain drops hang off
Fragrant pine needles
Diamonds each
Encasing sun’s rays
He reaches up
Shakes the limb
They’re instantly showered
In cold droplets
She scowls and shivers
He smiles
“I just wanted to see that look on your face.”
He kisses her warmly
Cycle of Bites
I started off small
nine months after Sputnik
a blossom of summer
a chemistry set and friends
for life with weird sorts of minds
don’t be a wise guy, I was told
I prospered and married (twice)
helping teach people how to be
free, but gloom blew through
a harsh autumn took hold
as I grew old until joy just
dawned, like a fresh embrace
a pentangle of leaves
out in the breeze
six decades and counting…
