What Crosses My Mind

  • Mother

    A heartbeat. A cradled affection, a sense of worry is unconditional, she will always remember that one time.   Oh while the years pass, many judgments, a currency of opportunity, an aesthetic realization that depends upon her eyes, she will always remember that one time.   We willingly recall, the time she managed our innocence…

  • Beyond Moments

    If in breath, a gasp, an eye glance, worlds interact with indifferent realities, only to provide expression, if only then might we understand. While a horizon away, a family struggles to recognize the wealth of their local dream, while on the other side, a smile. If during some compelling summer we all recognize theirs is…

  • Sometimes I Stop

    There is that occasion when the world evolves, and I, for the sake of I, stay static, I stop, I don’t smell  the flowers, or even walk in the humidity, instead, I am frozen in time, wondering just how many hours will drift past my eyes before I can know, before I might understand, why…

  • I Traveled Back in Time

    It felt good to say hello to all of them, The flowers were in crisp spring bloom, The fields swayed with more romance than I recall, I remember the gravel road, The swing rope, and the river pool, just for you, There was a single cow liked to moo.   Last night I visited my…

  • “I Read The News Today, Oh Boy” – John Lennon

    He always did have a reason to speak, when his lyrics would wind our mind, “Watching the wheels turn,” he seemed clearly in command of his time, While we the listeners would be in a constant trance, a mellow sweet remind How easily his lyrical mastery could make a dull afternoon be sublime.   Often…

  • Love, Time & Death

    It’s New York, of course, where lives do happen, cross through Central Park, onto 7th until we find ourselves, sitting on a bench, wondering where everyone is coming from, hoping that we might find peace.   We keep looking in their eyes, sometimes the notice is true, others, they walk by searching themselves for some…

  • Empty Spaces – The Road Taken – Photo Challenge

    The Road Taken And yet there were travelers, all of the eyes, the minds, the plays, the laughter that contained an avenue of freedom inside quiet minds, sighs, while everywhere around a humanity maintained.   Where have they all gone, the inspiration, surreal is the occasional dreamer who steps inside wonder only toward the stranger…

  • Finding Spiritual Balance

    A Good Match In trying to understand the world, we seem only to find balance, upon a vast field of simple grain, the sort indistinguishable yet soft enough to hold our mind, our body, our greatest fear and smallest burden.   Always a fascination has existed with the design of our lives together, an ability…

  • Turning Toward Time

      When we race for that which we embrace, the notion of our lives seems to last forever, its when we let go, step off, rearrange, justify, we lose sight upon what is the actual time.   I know this person, they’ll go unnamed, could touch a heart suggest a part …   We do…

  • Peaceful Resistance

    What led the world to respond, with not only a few, enough to stop the presses or perhaps filter the pond, that place with which he will empty he stresses.   There this movement spoke with urgency offered the eyes of millions to understand we are framed within our own clemency, to know the bounds…
