  • Isolated Thunder
    I heard something that would have frightened me had I been just a bit unchanged:
    Thunder.
    There was no storm--only peaceful rains with warm winds--and loudly shouts this isolated thunder.
    I felt something.
    Not fear, but curiosity. What a peculiar sound this was.
    It sounded as though a large something was cracked open, or rather, because the sound rolled on, like the firmament was being peeled back.
    That's a biblical scene--if you believe in such things...

  • I Am Not Fallen
    I Am Not Fallen
    Maybe I chose to come down
    Maybe I wanted
    to dwell here.
    I am not fallen.
    Please do not think this way.
    For, Angels do not fall, we choose.

  • The Allegory of Moses


    Oh, the allegory of Moses

    of famed prestige.

    Born as a slave.

    Raised with the Kings.

    Sacrificed! he did

    His "status" royal

    To remember his brothers

    and endure their toil.

    Murder! he did

    as he was compelled to do

    when the stench of oppressor

    grew too crude.

    Flee! he did

    to die in the wild,

    to be born a man

    with God in his head.

    Freedom was not enough

    with his brothers in chains.

    He shared what they have;

    the blood in his veins.

    He returned in power

    with "let" on his tongue,

    to give his brothers

    a song to be sung.

    If "Pharaoh" did choose

    to deny the demand,

    He HIT him where it hurt

    until he couldn't stand.

    CURSE! to the land (money)

    CURSE! to the crop (money)

    CURSE! to the cow (money)

    CURSE! to the river (money)

    CURSE! to the body (will)

    Brothers, if you will

    Choose to get up and leave,

    Now is the time

    For you, too, to flee.

  • This I Know from Above
    He moves as gracefully as a ballerina. Yet, his life has been hard as stone. Oh, the gentleness I find when he touches me signifies that his touch is home.
    I will heal him all the way with the might of this real love. I will find him again some day. This I know...This I know from above.
    This I know from above.
    This I know from above.
    This I know from above.
    This I know from above..

  • In the Moonlight

    If I could use all my might, I'd still have a glow in the night. I'd frequent in energy--a night star within your reach.
    You touch me and feel my soul. To you, I impart the glow. We wander and wander long--lighted path shows where we've gone.
    Behold my wonder lover and take of me all that I offer. We've got it all because love, in truth, began with us.


    It's right here. It's right here. It's right here. It's right here.

    Right here in the moonlight.

  • The Term for Them Escapes Me

    People are so...I don't know.

    The term for them escapes me.

    A fat person now thin holds up his chin

    Now all fat people are lazy.

    A he or a she reads a good read

    And has some measure of understanding.

    Now everyone who questions their unsolicited lessons are "ignorant motherfuckers" worth ending.

    An autodidact keeps his ego intact when he speaks his opinion as law.

    And he toils away for the women he craves as they won't be caught in his claws.

  • Remember Your Discipline

    This is for those, like me, who forgot many things due to the busyness of life. Working and raising children take their tolls, but try to take the time to remember that which you loved in your youth. For me, it was dancing, reading, drawing, poetry and writing, singing, and, most importantly, playing.
    Continue to do everything you love; my memory has come back to me now. I have called back my dispersed mind, and I so love, again, the opportunity for love, for life, for change.

  • The Heavens & Earth Will Rejoice

    I choose love; I choose life in Heaven; I choose Eternity; I choose my power; I choose freedom; I choose wisdom; I choose righteousness and beauty.
    ...and when the time comes for me to unite with my love, oh, at the place of our ritual of consummation, the Heavens and Earth will rejoice.
    For, He is the Heavens, and I am the Earth.

  • Misty Limbic Heat

    I wonder if, after the kids have grown, we--you and I--will float off into bohemic surreality.  Could we be so high and weightless? Cool. Adrift in a sea of us and nothing, of color and misty limbic heat.
