As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Fear

Fear the man who is so sure
who knows the truth and will endure
speaks out his mind with certainty
declares it loud and earnestly.

It’s best to flee from the one who preaches
in absolute belief in what he teaches
who will not hear of indecision
for he’s the one with twisted vision.

Black and White

It’s all about contrast
in the days of television
when all was grey
and misty
twiddle the knobs
to change the scene
until you find
the knife edge keen.

Three Reasons

The three reasons
we have seasons:
one, the weather
changes forever,
two, a reminder
of what is behinder,
and three, to share
whatever we dare.
