Was today typical?

I’m not traveling, so — at one level of specificity — it could be said to be typical. The flow of my routine is more or less as usual for recent weeks. Then again, at another level of specificity, it could be said to be a day filled with completely unique experiences never before had (precisely as I’m having them) by anyone, anywhere, at any time in the history of the world. I guess I prefer to look at things in the latter way.

Long Lost [Free Verse]

crumbled ruins: 
   once a fine home,
      occupants long gone

did their voices 
   resonate into stone,
      trapping something
   of their existence:
      some subtle indication
      that there was life here...

Pine & Rose [Lyric Poem]

An evergreen and a red, red rose:
 One slowly, but dully, ever grows;
 One springs to life only for a short time.
 Lifespan pine and beauty rose, apposed?
 And risk vice versa? One never knows!

 is teeming with tiny fish;

Countless Pieces of Hate [Free Verse]

Countless pieces of hate
   Tumble through our days,
   Clogging up our Flow --

Tiny bites of thought
   Pit us against 
   Imagined adversaries...

But aren't all adversaries 
   Imagined adversaries?

 Those who act badly against us
   Are only adversaries 
   If we slide them into that
   Mental basket.

My Soul Runs Cold [Lyric Poem]

Posted on by

My soul runs cold, and I
   Fear it might be dying.
 It rises into the sky --
   Horrifyingly flying.

How'd it achieve liftoff,
   And race to such a pace?
 It started to just drift off...
   Now: the cold vacuum of space.

Dare I hope for a snap back
   When it reaches tether-end?
 Or intergalactic bushwhack,
   Stumbling lost with no descent.

Maybe, it'll sprawl on forever
   To the universe's edge.
 I might not be so clever,
   But I'll be a universe full-fledged.
