Take a rest.
Rest your weight.
Old or new
There for you.
Scratched by love
Left by hate
It will let
The world wait
As you breathe
Quiet in
Quiet out
Soul inflate
Calm create.

The sheer size of injustice
May derail many a
Courage,
But the sure footed will know
There’s much room to
Encourage,
For heft can usurp power
But does not need mean
Might,
When the small but the many
Can prove stronger in a
Fight.

May the wind
Fill your sail,
May your path
Never fail,
May you be spared
Facing gale
Or travail
And may good fortune
Prevail.

In the endless, languid days of summer
When hubris and humidity nixes
Facts and kindness
Into haze,
Lays the promise of a fall soon coming
Where saner, cooler heads
May well usher in
Better days.

When the books need a home
And a baby needs tending
There’s a case to be made
To setting the workshop’s
Assistant
Right in it.

Listing favorites can take days,
Shuffled as they are in time and space,
But here are a few that my spirit
Will always embrace:
Beach and surf,
Little toes,
The peal of
Children’s laughter,
A good tale, a new book,
And loved ones
To look after.

May justice make haste
To reclaim what once graced
But has since been debased
By a swamp that laid waste
And all ethics replaced.
May the truth festinate
Removal of greed and hate
To restore facts misplaced
By those who greatness erased.

Hold on to your hat
And the change in your pockets
They upended this house
From drawers to sockets.
You will see chairs on ceilings
Light fixtures on floors
Every room, nook, and cranny
Odder than one before.
Floating car in garage
Beds that won’t let you sleep
Basement’s legs in the sky
Will make gravity weep.
So come right on in
Come sideways and down
This whole silly house
Is a merry go clown.

Pink fuzz lit
In the sun
Hirsute stem
Brushing ground
Rising up
Set to stun.
