Cold, grey, calloused, Like my thick han~e,

Prom orange daye of toil. I drive by

The little fake-white ehurehee. Pro .eel.yt .iz .e .rs . p.rayin .g to God,

Few of them know him. I hear high-11,ats

And brushed snare drums, Walking bass lines

And gently chorded pianos, Bird blows,

Sm:1:res, Smiles,

Cool blue jazz . Bats my brain.

At the dawn of existence, when the total function of man · equaled two, mentality was free of all euperst tion. ·our th ·oughte were his, leaving little to choose th e· WOJ!'ld grew' shedding innocence with time.

_ New freedoms promo .te .d .. a . ew.eet flavor while giving disregard to our first mind. The pace of t~e _secular race guicfened, leaving the original leader I in a position certain to lose. Premeditation became our new savior, leaving even lees to choose. --I The next turn is impatiently nearing, with the following generation ask f.ng why ancestral remnants look on sadly , earing; reminiscent of when the t •rut .hs weren't lies. St .er .ility is the only solution. To deny the mathematical destruct on of inner man numbers began stacking up against us. As the sweet nectar bridged Adam ' mouth to his hand, - I Destiny shall recall the initial mind set; re ·alization · forces a major ·· move. I Our children's decisions will be made by th e second mind, I leaving nothing to choose.

It ' snowed for the firat time,

Bringing a memory of me-

A memory of . snow one night ~

They never teach us to learn about ourselves,

- ~ + - + -

To dissect the human soul And classify what is seen. We are never taught to appreciate Time.

"Sunrise and sunset are ·a day, n

But they are much more. • Life --exists bet-ween the - sun

And peace comes by the moon . . Time shou .ld.. be given Her praises, For with Her passing comes love, Sorrow, happiness, and discovery : All which keeps life breathing. We are a universe, Crying stars and playing catch with Jupiter ·upon Constellat ·ions as children ·. And now we glance back Squinting, trying to see who we ere, Who we are.

- ~ut we never opened the book, Examined the changing pictures.

So now we look ahead And begin to run with eyes closed, Crashing into others On the same blind rampage, Missing the beauty of the sun. We don't know any better-

. To look inward instead of out. They never taught us.

■ '''' It's peaceful h~re •..

Snow falling Like a blanket of silence

Upon the newiy frozen ·ground : · ------- -­The ice is trapping dreams,

Hearts and memori •es, But wishes do come true.

Like the warming rays on the first day of - spr -ing, Melting the snow, releasing untold dreams,

Sometimes, that can be bard; . Often nearly impossible.

Yet st }-11 !fe h_o~e, _c!;e8;!11in9. ~re. Dying man dreaming of another chance.

Hope as real as the dream of the smallest child. Li~e•s meaning washed away

like the melting snows. One kiss, one gesture, - -------

Can make someone feel loved so deeply. The inner demons, wishing turmoils, •

Endless torment self inflicted, Sacrifices made .for .. naught, and

Victories snatched from the jaws of defeat. Painful love ~ ~c_s~~~¥ - ~~ -p~in _

Living, learning, loving, bating, hurting Helping and giving.

All of it ·, ttfe good, · 1:he bad, Shaping us to who we are, OUr taste ~f immortality,

Our legacies, our love for each other Those few sterna l- th -ings

That man can truly create • . . . . _ Perh!!,ps the onl.y .. things

That matter in this adventure That we so plainly l.a.bel life.

Long live those lonely nights .

The ones with a sad song

Plays on-another verse

Of a lonely night -Whose emptiness I fear.

Lone sun over th~ horizon­

Oh, ~ook - yet another

Sunny day.

,.,., I saw the most beautiful dusk sky From a Supermarket parking lot .. . But I could not fathom it; Trying to bring the scene justice With words I failed miserably.

~:i;r:~!!:!~u:ns:s:~o:;~ lost to history, ·1 I alon~ shall spend the rest of my days in awe,

Basking in the glory of God's gift to me · Search f ng for words to describe

the fu , lness, the sensuality, the splendor; Trying in vain to relate to anyone the way I felt; Looking for the choicest words To reveal the magnitude Of thi~ event's effect on me; -Only t ~e most beautiful, romantic, and co

1orful words .

Could echo my innermost .. .•• Seel I am reduced to pretentious babble When I try to match the infinite power of Nature's grace with my crude tools When words alone will not fairly describe Her perfection. Yet somehow it seems that solving · the mystery is much simpler •.•• That the secret of understanding A miracle is to look at it With all the wonder a newborn possesses when counting its toes, Expressing _j~y an~ pain with l ughter and tears-with no words.

My skin

has trapped me

like an unborn turtle.

This shell will always ·b~my greatest hurdle s

I will -hatch, single among the batch.

_ And I will soon discover with .no avail

that I'm still bound

by a shell.

In camp, in the brilliant sunshine, in the warm January air, in the new Millennium, in the Everglades, in a cow field, in-toxicated, in laughter, in friendship, in jest, in childhood, in goodwill, in amusement, in satisfaction, in a "pie man" mustache, in socks, in-subordinate to all but his fee l ings, in-hibitionlessr in euphoria, in all his nakedness •.•.•••.•.•.. . •..... .... blowing bubbles.

Rampant thought displaced .•... misplaced

Back again, then gone so fast

Its offspring lingers, sometimes hours

Long after parent has been rep ~ aced

Pressure builds confusion mounts

Words are spoken but they don't count

A picture tells A thousand words

We' re moving pictures ... . . . That can be heardl

So tell me then how much we show

When thoughts run rampant ~ and pictures flow.

Where t~o~ghts are unblemished, A resting point where evil dar s to seduce. Holy · ground where the self is sacrificed, Just a foot stool Preparations for eternal life.

As cool as the wind blows, ~ Wh-ispers -echoing as the cu .rren slows, .

Smiles that floss like a shiny black pearl, Winning the admiration of the orld.

A name beautiful to the ear. Curing Inflections as the antidote, Mindless, free and stable Imagine outside your self.
