Perhaps you might feel yourself a fraud
On occasion this might be true
Know all human’s are flawed
That is not the sum of you

Winter Feels Like Scorn
Winter feels like scorn
Spring a distant legend
By the fire I shall warm
Until brighter suns do beckon
If none come
It’s the end I reckon

Shopping at the Goodwill
At the Goodwill among the used and worn
Buying a footrest made before I was born
It will be my treasure despite others scorn

Cognition/Grace
With cognition comes sadness
Sorrows we must all face
Luckily
Interspersed among the losses
Are moments of overwhelming grace

Revolution Begun
Revolution begun
Engines burn
Nothing won
Is unearned
Sleep tonight
Forget rage
All will be right
When we shatter the cage

Snark
Don’t let snark be your only form of self expression
Or disdain be your sole reaction
Sincerity and authenticity are not curses

Thanksgiving 2014
I give thanks for this moment of living
The future has forgotten me now
I give thanks the present moment of giving
The past has shown me how

Unshared Moments
I miss the unshared moments
Before the like reblog and tweet
Unique bonds of time place generation
Be they happy sour or sweet

Elated Joys and Sorrowful Lamentations
I cannot ease your pain
Include suffering in your expectations
Conscious existence in full contains
Elated joys and sorrowful lamentations

Summer A Boon
Summer a boon
Before you go
A warm wind
A late sunset
A last flower
A blue sky
My mind distracted
By comfort
Instead of cold
