Would you sell your soul
To sorrow?
Would you reap
Hate’s awful gain?
Would you let go of
Tomorrow
So false power
Rise again?
Will your heart see
All humanity?
What will you allow,
Sustain?
Will your soles
Feed earth
Or hollow
Out it’s wealth
To drain?
Will you leave
Your soul abandoned?
Will you let your spirit
Die?
Or will you hold on
To the morrow
In a world
For you
And I?

For the gate from the old
Must stand guard
Not by sword
But to hold
Off the passage of years
So the lessons of past
May find ways to
Be cast.

The birds spiral
‘Round the spire
And the bells peal
Half and whole,
As the sky paints blue
Horizons
In a neighborhood
For all.

I will go to the seashore
Where the waves touch the sky.
I will go to the seashore
To kiss the day fond goodbye.
I will go to the seashore
Where the boats come on home,
And the children still play,
And the sun’s last rays roam,
And my soul sings with the surf
Where it has always belonged.

Welcome, guests, into
Our midst.
Join right in, you’ll
Get the gist.
We’ll dance you
Through our jungle greens,
‘Twixt crops in fields,
Across ravines.
We’ll sing and chant
And strike the ground,
With feet and poles
And hearts and sound.
Welcome, guests, into
Our midst.
Where mists among
The mountains
Roam,
And culture bursts
In vibrant
Song.
Dedicated to the amazing villages in Papua New Guinea, who came out in their young and old and in betweens, to dance heartwarming welcomes to my nephew and his friends who stayed as guests in their midst.

Among murals I
Would get
No prize for
Over talent,
But on this wall
I still get smiles
(And tissues for my
Exhalant …)

The yeast had proofed
The dough had risen
Air had filled the bubbles high.
A kiss of oil
A squirt of jelly, and
Powdered sugar flying by.
The plate is set
The mouth is open:
This treat won’t fail to
Satisfy.

I see a pattern
In these stairs:
In carpets’ weave
In craft-men’s squares,
In how the landings
Spin and dip,
With railings poised
To let hands grip,
In void that carries
Gaze to floor,
And legs that wish
To climb no more.

Baby berries
In barbed bushes
That protect
The precious parcels
From beaks and bears
And plucking fingers
Poised to pry
The ripe supply.

You have come to my
Backyard,
To my desert,
My home.
So why look
So surprised
To see me coming
Along?
Trivia:
Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) are desert-dwelling goat species that are found in mountainous areas of North Africa and the Middle East. The wild population is considered “vulnerable” and is estimated at only 1,200 individuals. Nubian ibexes stand around 65–75 cm (2.1–2.6 ft) tall at the shoulder and weigh around 50 kilograms (110 lb). They live in rough dry mountainous terrain and are a light tan color, with a white underbelly. Males also have a dark brown stripe down the back. Nubian ibexes have long thin horns which extend up and then backwards and down. In males these reach around about 1 meter (~ 1 yard) in length while in females they are much smaller and reach around 30 cm (~ 1 foot).
