poem: begin
(part I) her hair a morning warming sky opening like this eyes becoming widened turquoise lyrics holding white clouds are windows fluttering feathers wrote on up against ribbons & pages she warm to sunlight coming in trading with what i feel reaching over just holding on where just below plants begin off trail a higher…

Glimmer
Like a small ray of light, Near the end of the skyline. A glimmer of hope, Shines softly. In a world of unrest, With an uncertain future. A glimmer of hope, Shines upon us. A spirit can be broken, Or dance with delight. To dream, Is to hold, A glimmer of hope That shines in your heart. Forever.

Hope is the gift
Hope is the gift I sometimes find when I am soft and relaxed petals emerging from the snow melting icicle sparkle shutters removed! package on the doorstep lost earring in a drawer penny, face up on the sidewalk where does it disappear to when it leaves? someplace dark and cramped mysterious like the lone sock in the dryer…

The Face of Freedom
The Face of Freedom I am not here To make you angry I am here To drive you mad With passion glee and revelry On life’s long road no one gets to abandon fully into a known freedom For with knowledge aforethought freedom flies in the face of abandon’ Love waits patiently Abandon loses sight and sense I will clearly give over…

a time ago
on the ground busted painted glass lying around but a longtime ago just beautiful shone a longtime ago started yesterday when in the alley the lucky bird died fell from atop the wire & brick the city never mind life had been winding up somewhere near or far those shattered colors are songs broke like angel wings bent in…

Waterfalls of love
On the hill....constellations above With light & energy lighting up the sky I sense you here...the space above Of stars & galaxies & comets of dust I sense you above...............

From the Archives: In honor of RSD ordering problems
In honor (cough, cough) of the troubles we endured trying to order Mystery Vinyl on Record Store Day, he's a David Lettermanesque Top 10 I posted on the Synergy Message Pit way back in March 2001. Topic: Difficulties encountered by Pearl Jam members trying to order bootlegs. Please forgive the long-winded Letterman/Shaffer…

If I had 15 minutes
If I had just fifteen minutes to sum up those sun-splashed race cars in my mind as I process the end of this job the hum-hum might cover up the meaning, if I even know it myself! but I’ll try to unwrap bits... here’s what I’m noticing as students hear the news We’re moving! there’s an awkwardness in some goodbyes even an…

A visit
The need to talk builds up like the need to walk (or bounce down a street) move it, prove it rhyme! the light inside wants to burn despite some long dark night there's Time! to speak of Joy (I will) my ears were joyful once more I could float off on a raft of that sound (live there inside) I could lift a ton off that one…

"Endlessly"
The Mundane Beauty and Us. Everyday experiences we take for granted. Interweaving threads that make up the fabric of our lives. The gift of our minds; freedom to create memories as far as imaginations can wander. These stories that seem so minuscule, just fragments in time. They are the mediums through which we stare into…

"Tangled Up"
And I love your curly Q’s. The way they sway, in the wind, when you walk. How they hide your smile if I stare too long. And the way they bounce, in bed, when I’m making love to you. And I can’t wait to see them jump as I pick you up. Reunited at last with the sunset at our backs and the last light, of the day, shimmering…

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I've often heard that change can happen quickly there are expressions... and the wind shifted quick as a wink in an instant but I hadn't felt that experience before No, things seemed to take me a long time! I wondered why Why had I never felt the swift shift? surprisingly, this solution DID arrive with speed fortunately,…

Still no words
The presence of a life other than my own surrounds me The scent of lavender lightly fills the room as I light a candle to see who it is Who is this life that gives me a chill as I try to speak. No words only the feeling of comfort as the chill begins to warm Now gentle footsteps that once followed behind me now stand…

Just as I am
Unknown truths known only by me Bring me to this place of love and disparity And such a feeling that gives darkness to each passing day Also brings the light that shines thru the windows of my soul As I hold back the tears I wander into the void of pleasant thoughts Where unknown truths wait for me. Only here, only right…

"Fallen"
The children of winter must now sleep before they have been given a chance to fall. To feel the suns of tomorrow they must embrace the darkness that is all too forgiving. But their light still shines, only inward. Illuminating the depths concealed by time. Slowly it marches as they run toward themselves. Rebounding rays…
