About Me

If you know something,
understand it in the context of your life. . .
and soon knowing will cease to exist.

i was once asleep
walking through a zombie's dream
awakened in red.

drowning in the pool
yanking scattered spirit back
flying with laughter.

butterfly kisses
stalked by constant reminders
the changes are near.

i surrendered there
lifted up by raven's wings
the days turn quickly.

home is no longer
in the spaces of my youth
it is where i am.

discovered under
a blanket of falling stars
possibilities.

endless as the sky
mysterious as the gods
placed upon my palm.

there is no advance
future is only itself
opening in time.

My Interests

What do you call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, magnanimity, forgiveness? Different results of the one master impulse: the necessity of securing one's self-approval. ........Twain

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost, the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows will spring, renewed shall the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king. ........Tolkien

I'd like to meet:

I love haiku-ing
The draw of 5-7-5
Syllables bonding.
.............................cmyl

Laugh too often,
Cry whenever the opportunity arises,
Touch all you cannot reach,
and always
Be thankful for falling.
