Flying Toward the Sun

we all know
that the sun will shine
and that the birds will fly

we all know
why the full moon glows
and why the trees grow

but we do not know
who makes our world cry
or who chooses our time to die

The Other Side

Looking for tomorrow
Is like crossing a one-way road
We stop!
Then look the other way

We are conditioned to turn
And look down the wrong way
Then step forward!
Hoping!
We are moving toward
The other side

A Nest That Never Rests



On this sombre Sunday morning
the day is typically quiet
and under the hanging grey clouds
there is a whispering cool breeze
for the birds to hover upon
where they uniquely monitor
the unpredictable world below


And while lazily meandering
I cannot help but wonder
what do the birds perceive?
of us, unappreciative homo-sapiens
as we continue to vandalize our sacred planet
and randomly ravage our own nest




“The Wild”, lyrics, Mumford & Sons

We saw birth and death
Can’t we be still
What makes you kind
From where comes your sparkling mind

Was it under the earth?
Tied up in a knot
Which I forgot you were ever there

Do not be afraid
Do not be afraid

What’s that I see?
I think it’s the wild
Puts the fear of God in me

And was there a grudge
Up from the dust
Inconceivable lie

What’s that I see?
I think it’s the wild
Puts the fear of God in me

Is This the Right Time?



we slept in this morning
we are behind time

or are we on time
for whatever time
decreed by time
to be the right time

time is neither more nor less
time is endless

there are many times
we need a hand
but time hears no command

time is here and now
time is the universe’s eternal vow
