Simply here,and nothing more.
I used to dream, What if? It would make me feel good for the moment. I'd look at pictures of magical places, And for a second,I was there. Never with anyone, Just little old me. My whole childhood, I was a drifter. Stopping long enough to raise my children. Now that they have lives of their own, I've become stagnant.…

Freedom Song
Release and kick, and away we go! No better place of which I know, Than to run on a road that never ends; That transient joy it always sends! To fly along the firm, hard ground, And hear the song of the hooves' pound.. Pound.. The smell of the pines that stand on gaurd, Mingles, With the smell of a horse whose feet fall…

O
Safely out of the way hidden here in the country farms, trees, animals, big sky stepped off the merry-go-round It is no fantasy happiness is real the ground is solid under my feet don't need to wonder, what the? what the puzzle means can just be myself like a pebble worn smooth soft and grey plain and honest

Two Times Told
As the burning sun beats down on the desert sand She moves quickly Stopping for a moment to see what lies ahead In the hidden truth of a rocky stand. Up above in the blinding eye of the sun vultures circle Waiting for the last breath of silence to feed life Into the burning desert sand. Then without even a thought She…

Closing Doors
I woke up this morning, unaware you were leaving. You made me choose, but I could not choose you. I was taken aback. I did not see it coming; blindsided. Tears are for the weak, so you said I was weak. You broke my heart, you stunned me into disbelief. I can never let you back in, you know, this door forever closed.

truth in nothing else
the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there's no chance at all: we are all…

Mother Earth
The reflection of the moon on the sea Validated her beliefs in cosmic philosophies The natural flow of the waves Inspired the sunlilght of her spirit The possibilities of the unknown Excite her thoughts of the timjeless abyss If only all humans could be Taoists

13,000 Poems
13,000 Poems do you feel this the emptiness I can hear it echo I can hear a distant water drip and echoing in a place once filled entirely with color and fiber living love and laughter, sparks and creativity, warmth, and that stream of connections so warm how can this be now so dark damp and just out how can this be the now

First Flight
https://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-chase/first-flight/10154681943559852 First Flight The light within blazes with Truth. An ancient denial held it obscured. And yet it burned as it always did. The dearest memory but forgotten ....how did he ever forget that! Absent of coercion, the silence of attraction blinded his…

Borrowed Poetry
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a Cloud That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way,…

Beauty
I wonder who will see the beauty in him He is captivated by the way the Sun sparkles Like a million diamonds on the surface of the pond The way It attaches itself to every leaf And blade of grass at this time of day He is the only one witnessing this wonder Right here, right now It fills his heart and brings him great joy…

.......?
She always looks the other way And Into the memory she likes best She always holds onto her dreams Like a bird inside a cage. She walks with the grace Liz Taylor surely had She never says good-by She’s a lady thru and true She’s moving slow as if she has no place to hide. The world could stop turning and the mighty…

"I've walked…

Cassette Art
I am far from handy or an artist, but I took the day off from work yesterday and went to a odds n' ends store and could a bunch of cassettes for 0.25. So I bought a bunch, found a cheap shadow box for $2 and a cheap IKEA lamp stand for 3 bucks. Here is what a few hours and a glue gun created.
