Broken

Some have said that we should get along
Smile in acquiescence to their rants
Give their vain ideologues a chance
After all, we lost and their side won.

But every backward step just feels wrong,
Spinning truth alternatives advance;
Some have said that we should get along
Smile in acquiescence to their rants.

Loyalty is tested to belong
We must follow like blind sycophants
Any soul who dares a counter-stance
Faces rage, as battle lines are drawn
Some have said that we should get along.

Want Versus Need

privileged elites
blow cash on frivolities
pleasing want not need

Soul Sighting

my breath lingers
surrounding me in a
cool cloud of icy air…
for a magic moment
it is like looking
at my soul

Essay Assignment – Souvenir 

So like a leaf, with a transparent white stem that had been battered by a storm; frayed fluff and separated barbs in shades of silvery gray, ochre and indigo. If I hadn’t been looking down I might have missed the feather.

I wondered if the bird who lost it, missed it, or if it took its passing as a commonplace event, like clipping one’s fingernails.

I picked it up and headed home with a lilt in my step; me and my tiny single wing.

Soul-Scape

a tear in the veil
where souls from Elysium
flow from light to gray
